All-Time Cavaliers 

Post#1 » by BillyHoyle » Mon Aug 4, 2008 10:47 pm

if you could select an All-Time Cavaliers startng 5, (don't focus only on numbers but on "team-chemistry" as well), how would it look like?

Brad Daugherty C
Sean Kemp PF (he'd be a load with this team especially since he wouldn't have to carry the load)
LeBron James SF
Austin Carr (pre injury) SG
Mark Price (this is actually the toughest on. Kevin Johnson is also an option although his best years were in Phoenix)

I probably should have gone with Nance because he brings a bit more defense to this team. But, Kemp was still putting up almost 20 and 10 as a Cavalier. That's an awful lot of firepower with the outside shooting of Price and Carr and the inside work of Daugherty.

yea i went with nance because i thought his style could better fit in with this team. kemp was always the man and on this team he'd be about the third or fourth option...dont know how well he would handle that. nance was used to being the third option with price and daugherty so i dont think he would mind his role of defense, rebounding and knocking down the open shot when the opportunity presents itself

That would be my team. Kemp didn't have enough good time in Cleveland.
Interesting that 3 of those 5 had their careers cut drastically short by injury. Let's hope that doesn't happen to the active guy :pray:

What about World B. Free or Ron Harper? or I could even mention Tyron Hill, Boozer, Terrell Brandon.

All those guys were considered by me, but I thought that the 5 that I mentioned would be the best overall including chemistry.

Daugherty, good on the block decent rebounder very good on the pick and roll
Kemp, very good on the block, nice jump shot out to 15 or so great rebounder
LeBron, almost unguardable one on one
Austin, good first step, darned good spot up shooter
Price, excellent shooter, great at splitting the double team

I'd take Nance over Kemp, personal preference.

But otherwise like Outlaw's list
