Did Cavs Miss On Impact Player In Draft?
Written by Brendan Bowers   
Friday, 28 August 2009 17:48

I would call the free agency period an overall success for Danny Ferry and his Cavaliers - hands down.  But way back to what seems like years ago, there was an NBA Draft in which most Cavs fans hoped to find a player that could step in and contribute this season.  They didn't get that player with the 30th pick, however it appears in signing Danny Green to a two year contract this week that the front office thinks they may have gotten that guy with the 46th.  

But did the Cavaliers miss on an impact player amongst those drafted after Eyenga and before Green? 

Long way away from knowing that answer to be sure, but if the summer league performances serve as any indicator, a brief look into that answer might be below.  

Below are the NBA Summer League statistics of each player drafted after Christian Eyenga, and before Danny Green:
