NBA 2017-18 Season: Top 5 Teams in Isolation Scoring

#2 Cleveland Cavaliers - 9.9 points per game

LeBron James, Derek Rose and Kevin Love

Cleveland's season was marred by injuries and mid-season trades leading to an ever-changing lineup throughout the 82 games.

Every Cavaliers fan knew that LeBron is their go-to playmaker and he usually turns to isolation plays late in games. Apparently, James scores just under a third of the Cavaliers’ points in the fourth quarter, and so you can't really tell the best player on the planet to pass the ball.

Also feeding off of the isolation-style offense were Dwayne Wade and Derrick Rose. Eventually, the Cavs ended up having the third most isolation possessions (10.9) per game last season and scored 0.91 point per every such possession.

Understandably, their ball and man movement are not impressive and furthermore, the man who handled the ball for a vast majority of possessions last season has joined the Lakers.

If there's anything that can keep their hopes alive in the upcoming season, it's to pass more, move more and include as many players within the rotation system as was not possible when James was in charge.
