Standing at 6’ 11”, Jim Chones gave up his final year at Marquette to join the New York Nets of the ABA.  He would then play a season with the Carolina Cougars before joining the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA in 1974, who had his rights after they traded for it from the Los Angeles Lakers.  Chones put up very consistent numbers in his five seasons in Cleveland; he averaged between 12.9 to 15.8 Points per Game in those years, and in terms of boards his low was 8.4 and high was 10.3, all of which were decent.  In his even 400 Games, Chones posted good averages of 14.3 Points, 9.5 Rebounds and 1.1 Blocks per Game.

After having a great career at Duke where he was the Naismith Player of the Year in 1989 he was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers second overall which was a mess of a franchise and Ferry elected to play pro in Italy rather play for L.A.'s red-headed stepchild.  The Clippers traded him to Cleveland, and while Danny Ferry was far from the star he was at Duke he was an excellent role player with a high basketball I.Q. and was a locker room leader. 

Not very much was expected from Clarence “Foots” Walker as he was a 3rd Round Pick from Vincennes University, but he would make the Cavs team as a back-up Point Guard and slowly work his way to becoming their starter in his fourth season with the team.  Walker would play six years for Cleveland and would make history as the first Cavalier to score a triple-double.  

Wesley Person would play five of his ten seasons in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavilers, where he would be his most productive.  Person’s first season (1997/98) with Cleveland would see him jack up the most threes, and lead the NBA in Three-Point Field Goals made or attempted.  It was one of the best years of his career, with career highs in VORP (5.2) and he averaged 13.7 Points per Game, but he regressed the year after and would lose his starting Shooting Guard the year after but would rebound in 2001/02 (his last season in Cleveland) with a PPG of 15.1.  Overall, he averaged 12.0. Points per Game with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
