What are five of the scariest players the Cleveland Cavaliers have had since 1990?

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had a great run in recent years, sparked by the likes of LeBron James and more recently Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen. So with it being Halloween and the time for frights, we figured we’d look at some of the players that were most known for haunting the nightmares of opposing players.

So the one thing to keep in mind is that this isn’t all of the players just five of them. We know there are more players who can lay claim to a share of that title, but we’re just keeping it to five. Another thing to note, is we’re trying to keep it limited to just more modern players.

Mark Price

When it comes to Mark Price, he had a Corey Kluber-like element to him. He played rather emotionless, and in a time when players fed the big men more than not and didn’t really have the perimeter skills that they do now, Price was a different breed. He was arguably the best shooter of his era and was able to do so in a league where defenses were still allowed to be played, and where the league didn’t actively try to handicap the defense.

Price could dominate you from inside, outside, on the free-throw line, and in the nightmares of opposing defenders. When you have a player that good, from all over the court, how can you not see him as the boogeyman that he was? If Brad Daughterty had stayed healthy, it’s very likely the two win a title.
