A look back at Cleveland drafting Brad Daugherty in 1986

Posted Jun 6, 2011
Brad Daugherty really can't believe it has been 25 years since the 1986 draft, when the Cavaliers made him the No. 1 pick overall. Then again, he can't help but remember how much time has passed since that day. "No," he said when asked whether he realized it was the 25th anniversary of that momentous occasion, "other than the fact that my back hurts and my knees hurt all the time. It's unbelievable."
