Cavaliers sign guard David WesleyBasketball Betting Lines09/05/2006 - CLEVELAND (AP) -Veteran guard David Wesley signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, a deal that could lead to more backcourt maneuvering as the team tries to build off its playoff run last season. Wesley averaged 9.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 71 games - 59 starts - for the Houston Rockets last season. Terms of the contract were not immediately available. ``David adds a wealth of experience and professionalism to our team,'' Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said. ``His defense, shooting and toughness will add to areas that we want to continue to grow this year.'' Wesley's addition temporarily gives the Cavaliers more guards than they have room for on their roster. He joins Eric Snow, Damon Jones, Larry Hughes, rookies Shannon Brown and Daniel Gibson, Stephen Graham and Eddie Basden. The club also has swingmen Sasha Pavlovic, Luke Jackson and Ira Newble. Snow and Jones are the only returning ``true'' point guards, but each of them has flaws that could make them expendable. Snow is the team's best defensive guard and a leader, but he averaged just 4.8 points during the regular season and made one 3-pointer. Jones, who signed a four-year, $16 million free agent deal before last season, is Cleveland's best 3-point shooting threat but is a defensive liability. Wesley's scoring average last season marked the first time since his second year in the NBA that he didn't average double digits. But he made 99 of 271 3-pointers, and is ranked ninth among active players in made 3-pointers. After playing at Baylor, Wesley wasn't drafted and played one season in the CBA before he was signed as a free agent by the New Jersey Nets in 1993. He and Moses Malone are the only undrafted players in league history to score over 11,000 points. Wesley also played for Boston, Charlotte and New Orleans, which traded him to the Rockets in 2004 for Jim Jackson and Bostjan Nachbar. He averaged 17.2 points for the Hornets in 2000-01. One of the league's smaller point guards, the 6-foot-1 Wesley has played in 55 career playoff games, making 52 starts. He missed 11 games last season with a cracked rib.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
