A point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Australian national team, Dellavedova has averaged 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game in his NBA career.

Dellavedova played college basketball at Saint Mary's before being drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2013 without playing a single professional game. He was traded to the Toronto Raptors in 2015 and then signed with the Cavs prior to the 2017–2018 season. 

Where he has stayed ever since despite rumors of potential moves elsewhere throughout his tenure with Cleveland; including during this past off-season when talks of him joining. 

Kawhi Leonard on Los Angeles Lakers was rampant but ultimately fell through due to contract issues between both players' agents (Leonard eventually joined Philadelphia).

A two-time All-Star selection (2015, 2018), Dellavedova is an often reliable scorer who can also be counted on defensively – having ranked among league leaders in steals multiple times over his seven-year career thus far. 

Matthew will turn 33 years old later this year and as such may not have much left in terms of high-level play after spending most of his time recently battling injury problems. 

However he remains one of Australia's most decorated athletes having won several medals at international competitions across different sports (most notably rowing) along with accolades from various fan bases around the globe for what he brings on the court each night.
