Training Camp Roster Set

Just days before the Cavaliers take court in Independence, Ohio the training camp roster was announced. Some players on the roster look familiar such as: Boobie Gibson, Mo Williams, Jamario Moon, Antawn Jamison, Anderson Varejao and more.

However, there are some new faces this season. Christian Eyenga, the first rounder in 2009 will be on the Cavaliers roster this season for the first time. Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins came over from Minnesota, and Samardo Samuels was picked up after an impressive summer league with Chicago. But just like any other year, the Cavaliers have invited some young players to see if they have what it takes to make the team.

Training Camp Invites:

Manny Harris--Manny was an All-Big Ten Conference guard who decided to forgo his senior year as he entered the 2010 NBA Draft; Harris went undrafted. In his time at Michigan, Harris earned, 1st team: 2009, 2nd team: 2008; 3rd team: 2010, and he was also named to the All-Big Ten team. Harris was also a scholar in the classroom earning him, Big-Ten Academic All-Conference in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Harris was a part of the 2010 Summer League playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers but saw limited action due to an ankle injury, the same ankle that may have impaired his draft status.

Cedric Jackson--A Cleveland State native, Jackson went undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft. He went on to play in the D-League with the Erie Bayhawks. In his time with Erie, Jackson averaged 14.7 PPG along with 7.6 APG and 4.6 RPG. Cedric is a versatile player that could find success in Cleveland.

Tasmin Mitchell--The former LSU Tiger will join the training camp invites. The 6 foot 7 inch 235 lb. forward will look to use his strength and scoring ability to make the roster. Mitchell finished his career third on the LSU’s all-time scoring list. Mitchell made the statement, "I feel very blessed. I got the first call from them right after the draft. I'm very excited."

Greg Stiemsma—With the Cavaliers looking to add big men to their roster, Stiemsma has a real chance of making the team. The 6 ft 11 inch, 260 lb. center went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After he left, he went on to play in the top leagues in Europe. In 2009-2010, Stiemsma played with D-League, Sioux Falls Skyforce. The big fella is known for his interior defense.

Loren Woods—Another big man that the Cavaliers invited. Woods will be the tallest at camp, standing at 7 ft 2 inches. Woods was drafted in the second round, 46th overall in 2001 by the Minnesota Timberwolves. For Woods' career, he has averaged 2.6 PPG and 3.2 RPG in 215 total games. Loren will look to make the team with a limited amount of big men.
