Cleveland Cavaliers Roster Report 2008-08-29


Cleveland Cavaliers Roster Report 2008-08-29
DRAFT PICKS:

J.J. Hickson, F, 6-9, 242, North Carolina State -- Athletic forward who is as raw as they come. He's extremely long and will eventually block shots and score in the paint.

Darnell Jackson, F, 6-8, 250, Kansas -- Hard-working big man who bangs around the basket. He's one of five Kansas players who were drafted.

Sasha Kaun, C, 6-11, 250, Kansas -- He's signed to a three-year contract with CSKA Moscow in Russia. The Cavs will hold his rights. He's a skilled big man who can score and rebound.

BIGGEST NEEDS: The Cavs would like to add a perimeter player who can shoot and create his own shot. The chances they'll be able to add such a player in free agency appear remote.

FREE AGENT FOCUS: The Cavs will likely use their mid-level exception on a wing player, someone to shore up their perimeter defense. They expressed interest in James Posey of Boston, a Cleveland-area native would have been a good fit with the Cavs, but he signed with Orlando.

PLAYER NOTES:

--Only six players in the league averaged at least 17 points, 6.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 2007-08: Cavs G Mo Williams, Cavs F LeBron James, Clippers G Baron Davis, Sixers G Andre Miller, Hornets G Chris Paul and Heat G Dwyane Wade.

--Cavs first-round pick F J.J. Hickson participated in Tim Grgurich's camp in Las Vegas recently. He seems to be making major strides. As the roster is presently constructed, he'll be called upon to play minutes.

--G Mo Williams is getting married on Aug. 30.

--G Mo Williams has been working out in Vancouver, B.C., with noted trainer Alex McKechnie, one of the world's utmost authorities on core training and movement integration. Williams said C Zydrunas Ilgauskas is also working out in British Columbia.
