If Altman does become the new Cavaliers GM, Altman would be the youngest GM at 34 years old. Altman was groomed by former Cavs GM David Griffin.

Altman is expected to either be the favorite or one of the favorites for the position. The Cavs have been impressed with Altman with his duties of being the interim general manager.
