He played in 238 games (218 starts) in his time with the Cavaliers and he averaged 29.6 minutes, 13.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 1.8 blocked shots per game. Hinson was one of the only reasons to tune in and what the Cavs because he was awesome around the basket as he loved to dunk over anyone and anytime. He also was a outstanding defensive player and a solid rebound. In his three years with the Cavs they compiled a 93-153 record (37.8%). Hinson’s biggest contribution for the Cavs however was what they got for him when they traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers. That was a rookie center named Brad Daugherty. Daugherty only played 8 years with the Cavaliers before retiring due to a bad back. But, he played in 548 games (546 starts) with the Cavs and he averaged 36.5 minutes, 19.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Daugherty led the Cavs to 7 playoff appearances in the 8 years he played with them as they compiled a 363-293 (55.3%) record. Daugherty was one of the players who revived the Cavaliers and Cavs’ fans can thank Roy Hinson for that.
