In terms of overall popularity, especially in the 1970s, Bingo Smith is a top-five selection, and how can anyone named "Bingo" not be?

Arguably the best run of the career of Tyrone Hill was the four years he played in Cleveland.  The big man alternated at Power Forward and Center and in the 1994/95 season, he would be chosen for what would be his only All-Star Game.  That year, he would average 13.8 Points and 10.9 Rebounds per Game, the latter seeing him finish fifth overall in the National Basketball Association.  Two seasons later, in what would be his last in a Cavaliers uniform, he would finish tenth in Rebounds per Game with a 9.9 average.  Hill would overall post 10.8 Points and 9.2 Rebounds per Game as a Cleveland Cavalier.

Ron Harper is best known for winning five NBA Championships, three with the Chicago Bulls and two with the Los Angeles Lakers.  He brought those teams a veteran presence and a high basketball IQ, but this was very different than what he was asked to do when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Craig Ehlo had some big shoes to fill as he was brought in to replace the injured Mark Price and the former Washington State Cougar had his share of moments, most notably a 31 Point Game against Michael Jordan, although Jordan would later torch him on “The Shot” that took the then underdog Bulls over Cleveland in the 1989 Playoffs.
