Okay, so, I’ve been digging into some old NBA stuff lately, and today, I’m gonna share what I found about the 2002 Cleveland Cavaliers roster. Man, that team was something else.
First, I started by just doing a simple search online. I just typed “cavs 2002 roster” into a search engine. There were tons of results, but I picked a few that looked legit, like some sports stats websites.
Then, I started reading through the information. It was mostly just names and numbers, but it gave me a good overview. I learned that the 2002-03 season was rough for the Cavs. They only won 17 games and lost 65. Ouch.
Next, I wanted to see who was actually on the team, so I focused on the roster lists. I saw names like Ricky Davis, who played shooting guard, and Darius Miles, who was a small forward. They also had Milt Palacio as a point guard. I also noticed that Carlos Boozer was a rookie that year. They picked him in the second round of the draft. I also found out that during the 2001-2002 season Andre Miller played point guard, Wesley Person was shooting guard, and Lamond Murray was the small forward.
After that, I decided to look for more detailed stats. I found some pages that showed the average stats for each player, both in the regular season and the playoffs. It was interesting to see how they performed individually, even though the team struggled overall.
I also stumbled upon some information about the team’s composition. It showed how the roster was built, mostly through the draft and some trades. It wasn’t the most exciting stuff, but it gave me a better understanding of how the team was put together.
Finally, I checked out some fantasy basketball stats for the team. I don’t really play fantasy sports, but it was cool to see how the players were valued in that context. There were rankings, streaks, and all sorts of other data points that I hadn’t seen before.
My Takeaway
Overall, it was a fun little research project. The 2002 Cavs weren’t a great team, but it was interesting to learn about the players and how they performed. It’s a good reminder that even in losing seasons, there are still stories to be found.
