With the season one-third over, has one Cavalier excelled more than the others despite the team's losing ways?
Coach Byron Scott continues to search for Cavaliers who can play respectably game-in and game-out.Cleveland, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers are 8-20 going into tonight's game at Atlanta against the Hawks.
Of course, the Cavaliers were not expected to be contenders after LeBron James left them as a free agent for the Miami Heat. And, a gaping hole developed in the frontcourt with the departure of aging free agent centers Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Shaquille O'Neal to Miami and the Boston Celtics, respectively.
And, guard Delonte West -- who contributed little last season because of personal problems and injuries, but has undeniable talent -- went to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a three-way trade brining the Cavs backup point guard Ramon Sessions and backup center Ryan Hollins. West has since been cut by Minnesota, signed by Boston and is now out with a broken wrist.
After a respectable 7-9 start, it seemed the Cavaliers might be competitive this season despite the overhaul which included Mike Brown's firing as coach and Danny Ferry's leaving as general manager.
But now, the Cavs have lost 11 of their last 12 games, many of them in blowout fashion.
Still, maybe one or two Cavaliers have generally played well, or at least better, than the other Cavs.
With the season one-third over, who has been the Cavaliers' best player?
