Excellent ability but too few scenes! Should the Cavaliers let the forward player directly enter the starting lineup?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference semifinals, the Indiana Pacers defeated the top regular season Eastern Conference team at home 121-112. After this game, the Pacers took the lead and temporarily led their opponents 1-0 in this round of the series, and they also regained their home advantage through this game.

In this game, the Cavaliers' substitute forward DeAndre Hunter performed well. Hunter played 30 minutes and 12 seconds in the game, made 4 of 8 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 11 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of +7. Hunter still maintained a stable feel and comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, and he also seized the limited opportunity and got a lot of points. Hunter's performance on the defensive end was also average and there were no problems. Hunter has played his value on both offense and defense. The team's effect when he is on the court is worthy of recognition, but he has too few scenes on the court, and he has no way to provide more support to the team. With Hunter's state and performance, if he can get more opportunities, the situation in the game may also change, which also shows that there are indeed some problems with the Cavaliers' tactical arrangement.

Since joining the Cavaliers, Hunter has made a total of 27 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 25 minutes of playing time, averaging 14.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He has a shooting percentage of 48.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 42.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 82.1%. In the playoffs, Hunter averaged 23.8 minutes in the first five games, with averaging 12.6 points, 3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.8 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 60%, and free throw shooting percentage of 93.3%.

Hunt has actually maintained a very good state after joining the Cavaliers. His scoring ability is very outstanding, and his offensive efficiency can also be maintained at a stable level. In the playoffs, Hunter's performance on the offensive end was still very good, and he also showed everyone his excellent scoring ability and stable shooting ability. It’s just that the Cavaliers have always been a bit conservative and restrained in Hunter’s use, and they are unwilling to provide Hunter with more playing time and higher tactical status. For the Cavaliers, Hunter is definitely a strong point for the Cavaliers. Giving him more ball rights and higher status will definitely receive good returns. Judging from the situation in this game, Hunter should directly enter the team's starting lineup in the next game of the series.
