Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Ilgauskas began his career with local club Atletas in Lithuania in 1993. Three years later he was picked 20th in the draft by the Cavaliers. He was a 2-time All-Star for the Cavs and one of their better players in this century.

After many years of great production, 2006-07 was a bit of a down year for him, averaging 11 points and 7 rebounds. His scoring dipped further in the Finals, as he averaged just 9.8 points. He bounced the next couple of years, but by 2009 the end of the road was in sight. He joined the Heat along with James in 2010 but retired after that season. Ilgauskas had his jersey retired by the Cavs in 2014.
