A January win over Boston had him controlling the middle with 20 points and 14 rebounds, while Lenny Wilkens’ club had begun building around a healthy Daugherty-Nance-Price core after injuries had derailed the previous season. Los Angeles Times season coverage	All-Star (1992), All-NBA Third Team (1992), MVP voting – 11th
Larry Nance	Defensive Frontcourt Anchor (1.1)	35.6	High (1.2)	17.0	8.3	2.9	4.0	85.01	Nance was the defensive fulcrum, able to protect the rim without being confined to a traditional center role. Cleveland led the league in blocked shots during the season, and one January game against Boston showed the full defensive range of his role when he blocked seven shots while also supplying 20 points and 14 rebounds. Los Angeles Times Nance report	All-Defensive Second Team (1992)
Mark Price	Franchise Floor General (1.1)	29.7	High (1.2)	17.3	2.4	7.4	1.5	75.50	Price was the offensive organizer and late-clock shot creator, with his combination of pull-up shooting and free-throw accuracy forcing defenses to defend him well beyond the arc. In a March win over the Lakers, he calmly converted the decisive free throws after drawing the foul, and contemporary coverage repeatedly treated his return from injury as the key to Cleveland’s resurgence. Los Angeles Times Price report	All-Star (1992), All-NBA Third Team (1992), MVP voting – 7th
Hot Rod Williams	Sixth Man Rim Protector (1.05)	30.4	Medium (1.1)	11.9	7.6	2.5	3.1	57.98	Williams gave Cleveland a second interior presence who could protect the rim, run the floor and score without requiring the offense to be built around him. Wilkens frequently used him as the first big off the bench, and his 30.4 minutes despite only 12 starts show how substantial that reserve responsibility became. Limited independent season-specific feature coverage was available.	—
Craig Ehlo	Starting Two-Way Connector (1.05)	32.0	Medium (1.1)	12.3	4.9	3.8	1.5	51.98	Ehlo operated as the connective wing around Cleveland’s three primary stars, providing perimeter shooting, secondary creation and dependable defense without monopolizing possessions. His importance was especially clear during the team’s January surge, when he joined Price in a fourth-quarter scoring burst against Washington while Nance and Daugherty handled the interior workload. Los Angeles Times Cavaliers report	—
Mike Sanders	Veteran Wing Stabilizer (1.05)	26.3	Medium (1.1)	9.2	4.2	2.0	1.4	38.81	Sanders filled the low-maintenance wing role Cleveland needed around its high-usage core, defending, rebounding and moving the ball without demanding a large scoring load. His season was interrupted by a limited appearance total, but when available he was trusted with starting responsibility and veteran minutes. Independent season-specific reporting was limited.	—
Terrell Brandon	Backup Point Guard Catalyst (1.05)	19.6	Medium (1.1)	7.4	2.0	3.9	1.3	30.66	Brandon was developed as Price’s eventual backcourt insurance, giving Cleveland a young ball-handler capable of pushing tempo and organizing second-unit possessions. His 3.9 assists in under 20 minutes point to a genuine playmaking function rather than a scoring-first reserve role, and he was selected 11th overall by Cleveland after starring at Oregon. Independent contemporary coverage of his specific rookie role was limited.	All-Rookie Second Team (1992)
John Battle	Instant-Offense Reserve (1.0)	21.5	Low (1.0)	10.3	1.5	2.1	0.6	29.00	Battle gave Cleveland a genuine scoring change-up from the reserve unit, capable of taking over stretches without altering the team’s basic structure. His January contribution against Boston was particularly telling: he scored 19 points, then followed it with a late-game burst against New York that helped turn a close game in Cleveland’s favor. Los Angeles Times Battle report	—
Steve Kerr	Perimeter Shooting Specialist (1.0)	17.6	Low (1.0)	6.6	1.6	2.3	0.8	22.60	Kerr’s value was already tied closely to perimeter shooting and spacing, making him a useful complementary guard beside Cleveland’s primary creators. His role was not yet that of the specialist he would become later, but contemporary reporting highlighted his elite shooting efficiency, including a league-leading three-point percentage earlier in his career. Independent coverage of his exact 1991-92 rotation role was limited.	—
Danny Ferry	Stretch Frontcourt Reserve (1.0)	13.8	Low (1.0)	5.1	3.1	1.1	0.5	19.60	Ferry was a versatile reserve forward whose shooting and passing gave Cleveland a different frontcourt look from Daugherty, Nance and Williams. His ability to play across the front line was part of the reason Cleveland had targeted him years earlier, with the organization viewing his shooting, passing and positional flexibility as a long-term fit. UPI Ferry background	—
Henry James	Bench Scoring Wing (1.0)	13.3	Low (1.0)	6.4	1.7	0.4	0.4	17.80	James supplied secondary wing scoring without becoming a regular offensive creator. His role was largely to provide shooting and straightforward perimeter offense behind the established rotation, leaving the bulk of playmaking to Price, Ehlo and the veteran frontcourt. Limited independent season-specific reporting was available.	—
Winston Bennett	Defensive Utility Forward (1.0)	16.0	Low (1.0)	3.7	3.1	0.7	0.6	16.20	Bennett’s role was built around physical wing-forward minutes, rebounding and defensive utility rather than shot creation. Cleveland’s preseason outlook viewed him as an important returning forward after injury had limited the previous campaign, but his eventual offensive responsibility remained modest. Washington Post 1991-92 Cavaliers preview	—
John Morton	Emergency Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0)	13.5	Low (1.0)	3.5	1.8	1.3	0.3	13.80	Morton was essentially an emergency backcourt option, appearing in only four regular-season games and receiving little opportunity to establish a sustained rotation role. His limited workload meant Cleveland relied overwhelmingly on Price, Ehlo, Battle, Brandon and Kerr for its regular perimeter minutes. Independent season-specific coverage was limited.	—
Jimmy Oliver	Developmental Scoring Guard (1.0)	9.3	Low (1.0)	3.6	1.0	0.7	0.4	11.40	Oliver was a developmental guard on the fringe of the rotation, receiving occasional starts but generally operating behind Cleveland’s established veteran perimeter group. The second-round rookie’s job was primarily to absorb minutes and learn within a veteran playoff-caliber roster rather than carry a defined offensive assignment. Independent season-specific coverage was limited.	—
Bobby Phills	Defensive Development Guard (1.0)	6.5	Low (1.0)	3.1	0.8	0.4	0.4	9.40	Phills was still learning the league from the edge of Cleveland’s rotation, with his minutes restricted behind a deep group of established guards and wings. His offensive involvement was minimal, while his eventual value as a physical defensive guard was still developing. Independent contemporary reporting on his rookie-season role was limited.	—
Chucky Brown	Energy Reserve Forward (1.0)	8.3	Low (1.0)	2.5	1.0	0.5	0.5	9.00	Brown was a deep reserve used for short stretches of frontcourt energy, rebounding and defensive activity. With Cleveland’s veteran interior trio consuming most of the meaningful minutes, his opportunities were largely situational rather than part of a regular offensive package. Independent season-specific coverage was limited.	—
Team Totals	Cleveland Cavaliers	241.5	—	108.9	42.6	27.6	15.1	—	Cleveland’s regular-season identity was built around a three-man core of Daugherty, Price and Nance, with Williams giving the frontcourt unusual depth and Ehlo providing perimeter balance. The Cavaliers finished 57-25 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, where Chicago eliminated them in six games. Washington Post 1991-92 season preview	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)

Brad Daugherty	Primary Interior Hub (1.1)	40.4	High (1.2)	21.5	10.2	3.4	1.6	97.94	Daugherty was Cleveland’s interior offensive hub throughout the 1992 postseason, with the size to score inside and the passing instincts to keep the offense connected. He became particularly important against Boston, producing 28 points in Game 5 and 28 more in the deciding Game 7 as Cleveland advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Washington Post’s Cavaliers playoff feature	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Larry Nance	Defensive Frontcourt Anchor (1.1)	40.1	High (1.2)	18.0	9.2	2.5	3.5	87.65	Nance supplied the two-way frontcourt presence that allowed Cleveland to play big without becoming static. His shot-blocking was a genuine tactical weapon, but he also stepped outside the paint offensively; in the crucial Game 2 win over Chicago, he scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while Cleveland’s frontcourt overwhelmed the Bulls inside. Los Angeles Times playoff report on Cleveland’s Game 2 win	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Mark Price	Franchise Floor General (1.1)	35.5	High (1.2)	19.2	2.5	7.5	1.6	81.31	Price was the primary organizer and perimeter shot creator, forcing defenses to account for his pull-up shooting while directing the half-court attack. His value was not just scoring: against Chicago he could adjust his role around his health, and in Game 2 he played through a stomach virus largely to direct traffic and provide leadership. The Washington Post’s Game 2 report	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Hot Rod Williams	Sixth Man Rim Protector (1.05)	33.4	Medium (1.1)	15.0	7.6	2.5	2.4	63.53	Williams was Cleveland’s most important reserve big, giving the Cavaliers a second wave of size, rebounding and rim protection. He averaged more than 33 postseason minutes despite not starting, and his interior scoring became especially useful against Chicago; he scored 18 points in the Game 4 victory that briefly put the Cavaliers ahead in the series. Los Angeles Times Game 2 playoff coverage	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Craig Ehlo	Starting Two-Way Connector (1.05)	32.5	Medium (1.1)	9.6	4.5	4.5	1.5	46.43	Ehlo’s playoff role was unusually demanding for a secondary scorer: he defended Michael Jordan, spaced the floor and handled enough creation to punish defensive attention elsewhere. Against Boston he bounced back from an 0-for-9 night by making his first eight shots in Game 5, finishing with 20 points, 13 assists and six rebounds. Los Angeles Times report on Cleveland’s Game 5 win	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Mike Sanders	Veteran Defensive Wing (1.05)	24.6	Low (1.0)	7.6	3.2	2.2	1.6	30.66	Sanders was a physical veteran wing used to stabilize the rotation, defend larger perimeter players and keep the ball moving around Cleveland’s offensive core. His value became particularly visible in the conference finals, when he hit a key three-pointer during the Game 2 win over Chicago while Price was limited by illness. Los Angeles Times Cavaliers-Bulls report	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Terrell Brandon	Backup Point Guard Catalyst (1.05)	13.1	Low (1.0)	3.9	1.8	2.5	0.4	17.20	Brandon provided youthful ball-handling relief behind Price, allowing Cleveland to maintain an organized offense when its veteran point guard needed a breather. That responsibility became particularly important against Chicago when Price was sick; Brandon played 20 minutes in Game 2 while Price conserved himself for the fourth quarter. The Washington Post on Brandon’s Game 2 role	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
John Battle	Instant-Offense Reserve (1.0)	13.5	Low (1.0)	5.9	0.8	1.0	0.4	16.20	Battle was a scoring-oriented reserve whose job was to supply offense without taking the ball out of Price’s hands for long stretches. His minutes fell sharply once the postseason tightened, reflecting Cleveland’s preference for its established core, although his regular-season arrival had been viewed as an important addition to the team’s veteran depth. The Washington Post’s Cavaliers season analysis	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Steve Kerr	Perimeter Shooting Specialist (1.0)	12.4	Low (1.0)	3.7	0.5	0.8	0.4	10.80	Kerr was a specialist reserve whose offensive purpose was straightforward: space the floor and punish defenses that ignored him. His most memorable contribution came against Boston, when he entered Game 1 and knocked down three of four shots, including a remarkable 50-footer, in an 11-minute burst that helped Cleveland seize control. Ryan Van Dusen’s archived 1992 playoff account	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Bobby Phills	Defensive Development Guard (1.0)	2.4	Low (1.0)	2.2	1.2	1.0	0.2	9.20	Phills was still an extremely limited postseason option, appearing only in brief defensive-oriented stretches behind Cleveland’s established perimeter rotation. His five appearances amounted to little more than spot duty, but the coaching staff was beginning to expose the young guard to the physical demands of playoff basketball. Limited independent contemporary coverage of his specific role was available. Bobby Phills historical profile at Sports Illustrated Vault	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Danny Ferry	Stretch Frontcourt Reserve (1.0)	6.1	Low (1.0)	2.1	1.8	0.1	0.2	8.40	Ferry’s playoff role was almost entirely situational, with Cleveland turning to him for occasional frontcourt spacing rather than sustained minutes. His importance to the roster was nevertheless tied to his ability to stretch the floor from the forward position, giving the Cavaliers a different look from the more physical Daugherty-Nance-Williams group. Limited independent postseason coverage was available. The Washington Post’s Cavaliers postseason feature	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Henry James	Deep Rotation Wing (1.0)	2.8	Low (1.0)	0.5	0.3	0.3	0.1	2.40	James was a deep rotation wing with almost no offensive responsibility once the playoffs narrowed Cleveland’s rotation. His eight appearances amounted to short situational stints, leaving the team’s meaningful perimeter workload to Ehlo, Sanders, Price, Battle and Brandon. Limited independent season-specific reporting was available.	Eastern Conference Finals (1992)
Team Totals	Cleveland Cavaliers	241.5	—	103.6	41.1	26.4	13.5	—	Cleveland’s 1992 playoff identity rested on a heavy frontcourt core of Daugherty, Nance and Williams, with Price controlling the backcourt and Ehlo providing two-way perimeter balance. The Cavaliers won their first two rounds before pushing Chicago to six games in the Eastern Conference Finals, including a 107-81 road victory in Game 2 and a 99-85 home win in Game 4.
