Exit Peyton Manning.  Enter Andrew Luck.

Everybody knew that Andrew Luck was going to be the first overall pick in 2012 as it was widely believed that the Stanford superstar was going to be a difference-maker in the National Football League.  The Colts, who had Peyton Manning, had to watch their stud Quarterback sit out that year resulting in Indianapolis having a terrible year and drafting #1 overall, which of course led to Luck donning the horseshoe.  How appropriate is that?

LeBron James' mother's favorite player (allegedly) played in Cleveland for two and a half seasons, where he would average 10.3 Points per Game.  West primarily played at Shooting Guard and had many clutch shots early in his Cavs tenure, most notably a game-winning shot against the Washington Wizards in the 2008 playoffs.  West's shooting slipped in 2009/10, and he would be shipped off to Minnesota who would subsequently waive him.
Nicknamed the “Windexman" for his ability to clean the boards, Cage played two seasons for Cleveland.  He was a rebounding champion as a Los Angeles Clipper in 1987/88, but he was older and slower when he joined Cleveland (1994/95) but could still grab the boards.  Cage averaged 7.9 Rebounds per Game with Cleveland.
Playing his first five seasons as a Cleveland Cavalier, John Bagley got off to a bit of a slow start as the 12th overall pick of 1982 did not earn the starting job at Point Guard until his third season.  In his third and fourth season, he would finish 5th and 4th respectively in Assists per Game and would have a three-year streak averaging over 10 Points per Game.  Bagley would however only make one playoff with Cleveland.
