Arriving midway through the 2014/15 season, the enigmatic J.R. Smith came to become a part of LeBron's court, and for the most part, he understood his role on the team.  Smith would be at his best in the 2016 playoffs where he helped Cleveland win their first NBA Championship as their starting Shooting Guard averaging 11.5 Points per Game in the playoffs.  Sadly, Smith will be remembered for his bonehead move in Game 1 of the 2018 Finals where he held onto the ball in the dying seconds thinking that Cleveland had a lead when they were tied.  The Cavs would go onto lose that game and were swept by the Golden State Warriors.

Dick Snyder played four seasons with Cleveland where the Shooting Guard where in his first season after arriving in a trade from Seattle, would finish ninth in Field Goal Percentage.  Snyder's play would diminish after but his first two years would still see him average over 10 Points per Game.  As a Cavalier, he averaged 10.6 Points per Game, and he would win a championship with Seattle in what would be his last year in the NBA.

Brevin Knight would have the career of a journeyman in the NBA, but the first of his nine teams was Cleveland where he was a First Team All-Rookie averaging 9.0 Points per Game.  That year, Knight would lead the NBA in Steals per Game, so there was a lot of hope that this would be the start of greatness.  It wasn't, as he never had theft numbers like that again and he never reached double digits in Points per Game as a Cavalier.  His Assists numbers also did not increase from his 8.2 as a rookie, but his overall average PER as a Cav was 16.2, a decent total.

John Johnson made history as the first Cleveland Cavalier to be named to the All-Star Game, which he did as a rookie in 1970/71.  Repeating his All-Star Game appearance the next season, Johnson would put up a career-high 17.0 Points per Game and overall in his three years in Cleveland he averaged 15.9 Points and 7.1 Rebounds per Game.  While Johnson was a two-time All-Star, he probably wasn't All-Star worthy, but he did represent the city well and was the team's best player in the very early years of the franchise.
