Terrell Brandon was selected 11th overall in the 1991 NBA Draft by Cleveland and spent six productive seasons in a Cavs uniform.
While his overall per-game averages with the Cavaliers don’t appear to be much to write home about, he spent the first three seasons of his career primarily coming off the bench. He started 41 of 67 games in 1994-95, his fourth year in the league, and all 153 games in which he appeared the following two seasons. He was named to the All-Star team in both the 1995-96 and 1996-97 campaigns.
In his two All-Star seasons, Brandon averaged a combined 19.4 points and 6.4 assists while shooting 37.9 percent from 3-point range. The Cavs won 47 games in 1995-96 but were swept in the first round by the Knicks, and had 42 wins the following season when the missed the playoffs.
Brandon was traded to Milwaukee the following summer as part of the trade that brought Shawn Kemp to Cleveland.
