Cavs Announce Training Camp Roster

Monday, September 28, 2009

I received this press release over the weekend. Who knows, maybe we'll see some of these training camp invites in an Erie BayHawks uniform this season. On the current roster, rookie Danny Green, second-year players J.J. Hickson, Darnell Jackson, and Jawad Williams are all D-League eligible.

Williams played in 19 D-League games last season, averaging better than 25 points whereas Jackson was sent to Erie twice on assignment last year to develop his game.

The two most notable names from the training camp invites are probably Coby Karl and Russell Robinson. Karl, son of Nuggets coach George Karl, played sparingly for the Lakers in 2007-08. Last year he started all 22 of his games with the Idaho Stampede.

Known as a tenacious defender in college, the 6'1" Robinson was a member of the Kansas Jayhawks that won the 2008 NCAA championship. He played in all 50 games last season for the Reno Bighorns, starting 35 of them.
