30. Cleveland Cavaliers (1-11)

Last week: 30 

What can you really say about the Cleveland Cavaliers? This is a team that is struggling mightily to start the season, especially after losing Kevin Love for a few weeks. They also just lost George Hill to injury, who is expected to miss two weeks with a shoulder injury.

Life hasn’t been easy for the Cavs, to say the least, since LeBron James elected to leave town this past summer, but they have to keep trucking along. The only real silver lining for the Cavs is that they will likely finish the season with a top 3 pick.

And if you saw Duke play a few days ago, they have three players that will almost certainly go in the top 5. Cleveland fans could begin to look forward to that possibility, I guess.
