Longest-Tenured Cavalier Takes the Lead Into New Era
For media old-heads, it’s hard to believe Tristan Thompson – the kid from Canada the Cavs grabbed three picks after Kyrie – is now the seasoned, grizzled dean of the squad.
The next most-tenured Cavalier is Kevin Love, coming into his sixth season with Cleveland, and then you’re tied at Cedi and Big Z.0, with three years apiece.
When Tristan arrived in the Lockout-shortened 2011-12 season, the Cavs consisted of guys like Ramon Sessions, Alonzo Gee and Omri Casspi. Along the way, Thompson has weathered a 26-game losing streak and ridden in the Championship parade.
