So, I’ve been digging into NBA history recently, and I decided to pull up the 2002 Cavs roster. Man, what a trip down memory lane that was. I wanted to see how the team was built back then, you know, the ins and outs of it all.

First off, I started by searching online for any info I could find about the 2002-2003 NBA season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. I figured that would give me a good starting point. Then I dug into some basketball-specific websites, just to find anything about the team’s roster and stats from that season.
Then I compiled a list of all the players, their positions, jersey numbers, and any stats I could find. I organized it all to get a clearer picture of the team’s composition. Here’s what I found:
- DeSagana Diop, picked as the #8 in the first round of the 2001 NBA Draft.
- Milt Palacio as point guard.
- Ricky Davis as shooting guard.
- Darius Miles as small forward.
I looked through player stats and managed to piece together how the team performed throughout the season. It wasn’t pretty, to say the least, with 17 wins and 65 losses. I even compared their average margin of victory to other teams in history, and it turns out it wasn’t great.
I also checked the team’s composition. I noted down who was drafted, who played what position, all that jazz. It was interesting to see how the team was built through the draft and how each player contributed during the season.
Result
In the end, I managed to get a pretty comprehensive overview of the 2002 Cavs roster. It was a bit of a nostalgia trip for me, and I got to see how the team was put together and how they performed. Plus, it was cool to compare their stats to other teams throughout NBA history. All in all, a fun little project.
