While the Cavs have always been my favorite team, it was those early Portland teams with Roy, Martell Webster, LMA, and Travis Outlaw that really got my interest in the NBA as a whole goingI really liked Brandon Roy before the injuries. The end of his career was hard to watch

Non-Cav, non-allstar? There's a few who come to mind.
JJ Redick. I hate Duke and I hated him coming out. He really turned himself into a reliable professional. Peaking his PPG in year 14. Career 41% 3P%. Consummate professional, until the end when he went a little nuts and tried to strongarm Griff in Nola.
PJ Tucker. For reasons already mentioned. He also wasn't undrafted. FYI.
Michael Carter-Williams. I love 6'5 PGs who play defense and build brick houses. It's my fetish.
CJ McCollum.
Crazy to think CJ hasn't been an all-star (yet). Didn't realize he's from Canton, Ohio.
Good analogy with Delly, but Twardzik was bigger (6 5) and better offensively, near all-star level for their championship year. He also played small forward.From my days of living in Portland, I liked Dave Twardzik. Helped
the Walton led Blazers to a championship and played dirt dog tough
ala Delly.
He and Koufos crossed over for a bit if I remember correctly. Weird pairing given how their pro careers turned outHe was at Glenoak. Funny looking little guy with big feet. Had no idea he would grow into his body like he did. Reminded me of Dru Joyce playing off Bron at St V when I first saw him.
If we are doing a sub set of favorite non cav, non all star from Canton, mine is Gary Grant.He and Koufos crossed over for a bit if I remember correctly. Weird pairing given how their pro careers turned out
The guy looks like he smokes at halftime.I'm a Joe Ingles guy. Receding hairline... Seemingly unathletic... Relatively solid player in all aspects of the game on a winning team (pre-injury/trade)... Can hit threes at an all-NBA clip... Good passer... Good shit-talking game...
Man, I would love the pre-injury version of him on the Cavs right now. He'd slide in perfectly as our SF.
