Sam Merrill, a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, returned to Utah on Monday and showed he is more than just a shooter than his teammate Donovan Mitchell. The latest episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast revealed that Merrill's game has evolved into something more dangerous than catch-and-shoot bombing. The podcast crew highlighted Merrill's ability to attack closeouts, finish floaters, and create advantages when defenses fly at him. The relationship between Mitchell and Merrill runs deeper than most realize, with Mitchell's public belief in Merrill elevates his standing throughout the organization. If playoff defenses have to close out aggressively on Merrill's 3-point threat, this could be a significant weapon for the Cavaliers.
