Ced Simmons Acquired by Cavs - StateFans Nation StateFans Nation

Can we talk about some basketball for a moment?

Simmons made four starts in 43 games last season. He averaged 2.9 points and 2.5 rebounds a game. Simmons, a first-round pick by the Hornets in the 2006 draft, left North Carolina State after his sophomore season. Simmons is a good shot-blocker and will see time with the Cavs from off the bench.

“Cedric is a young, talented player,” Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry said in a written statement. “We look forward to participating in his continued development here in Cleveland.”
