Time flew by, and it was already December.
The Cavaliers had finished their first month of the season.
They ended November with a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, ranking third in The East, behind the Heat and the Raptors.
This record was slightly worse than last season's, but the Cavaliers had gained more than expected.
Kyrie Irving had the best month of his career, averaging 25.8 points, 7.2 assists, and 1.7 steals per game.
More comforting than the statistics was Irving's improved ability to handle double teams.
As it turns out, as long as you give someone enough ball-handling responsibility—even if he's just a role player, give him twenty years of it and some media hype, he too can become an All-Star.
But Irving is capable and already knows what he needs to improve. Give him enough room to make mistakes, and he can give you a brilliant future.
Hansen's decision to delegate authority brought gains not only for Irving.
