Cavs

C Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Zydrunas Ilgauskas will always go down as one of the most favorite Cavs players of all time. He was a soft-spoken European with a great touch that few big men had at the time. He went to only two All-Star games but both of those games helped signify that the Cavaliers big man truly made it. He made it as an NBA star regardless of his first five years in the league, which basically saw him get hurt nearly every game. He missed well over 70%of all games played those first several seasons, yet still had it in him to make a comeback and put together a great career. He’d end his run in the NBA playing with the Heat, trying to win a championship ring that he fell short in.

C Brad Daugherty

Like the pick before him and the pick after him, Brad Daugherty was a beloved Cavalier icon. He spent his entire career in Cleveland being drafted No. 1 overall in the 1986 NBA Draft. The same draft that netted the Cavaliers Mark Price. Daugherty was one of the best centers of his time, racking up five All-Star selections. With averages of 19.0 points per game and 9.5 rebounds a game, Daugherty was on his way but injuries to his back ended his career at just 29 years old.

PG Mark Price

Admittedly, they may have appeared in the 2016 NBA Championship parade, there were a lot of people there. Needless to say, even if they already did appear both Daugherty and Mark Price deserve to be in every championship parade the Cavs have for as long as they’re with us. Price was not only the team’s best point guard ever (I said it) but he was one of the best pure-shooters the league has ever seen, especially in a time that didn’t promote or want that type of three-point shooting in the game. Price was a legend that helped change the game.
