Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cavaliers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

This week’s survey about the Cleveland Cavaliers is simple. Which role player is most important for the playoffs?

For purposes of this discussion, we’re going to label anyone who isn’t in the new core four of Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen as a role player. The options listed below are Dennis Schroder, Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill, Dean Wade, or others.

There are good arguments for all of these players.

First, Schroder’s ball handling and playmaking have been extremely important with the second unit. Opponents have had a difficult time keeping pace with the Cavs when he’s playing well. Last season, a lack of play initiators was one of their biggest issues against the Indiana Pacers. Schroder can help in that capacity.

Next, Tyson, at his size, can provide things that few others can on the roster. His ability to playmake in the short roll and knock down threes would be incredibly valuable in a playoff context, especially if the Cavs played a wing-heavy team like the Boston Celtics.

Merrill can be one of the most disruptive off-ball players in the league. His shot can truly break defenses, which is extremely helpful in the playoffs when half-court offenses can bog down.

Wade provides something that few others on the roster can. He’s an extremely versatile defender who can shift between guarding all five positions on the court, depending on the matchup. That’s incredibly valuable. However, he needs to be able to provide something offensively to be playable in the postseason.

Lastly, I included the option of other. This basically encompasses Keon Ellis, Max Strus, Thomas Bryant, Larry Nance Jr., and Nae’Qwan Tomlin.

So, which role player is most important in the playoffs?
