Anderson Varejao is always a key to how well the Cleveland Cavaliers play
27-year old power forward/center Anderson Varejao always seems to play with a passion for basketball that rubs off on his teammates. He is one of the most unselfish players in the league as he would rather dive for a ball, grab a rebound or set a pick than score. He played in 76 games (7 starts) for the Cavs last year and he averaged 28.5 minutes, 8.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Those are not bad numbers for a backup player. He has now played in 388 games (72 starts) in his six years with the Cavs and he has averaged 24.1 minutes, 7.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. Varejao is likely #2 in the hearts of Cavs’ fans behind LeBron James and he isn’t going anywhere.
