Cavaliers all-time starting lineup: Power forward, Brad Daugherty, 65.2 Win Shares

Daugherty ended up playing seven years with the Cavs. He was very solid rebounding big for a team who was able to average nearly 20 points per game for the entirety of his career. Daugherty was one of the best Cavs in the history of the franchise before LeBron James and, with Price, helped lead the group that made the playoffs a couple of seasons during the late 1980s and 1990s.

Daugherty was a five-time All-Star and also made one all-NBA team, piling up 65.2 Win Shares. He was a center but, we have to make room for another all-time center in this lineup so we’re leveraging his mobility and sliding him to power forward in this hypothetical.
