Thompson joins Cavs; 3 other BayHawks make NBA rosters

Erie BayHawks forward Mychel Thompson made the Cleveland Cavaliers' final 15-man roster.

A rookie out of Pepperdine, Thompson averaged 19.8 points in Erie's first five games before being invited to Cleveland's training camp.

The Cavaliers open the 2011-12 season today against Toronto.

Along with Thompson, BayHawks point guard Donald Sloan made an NBA team in the Atlanta Hawks.

Sloan was Erie's leading scorer at 24.8 points. He also led the team in assists at 8.4 a game.

Former BayHawk forward Ivan Johnson also made the Hawks' final roster. Johnson was a first-team all-D-League pick last season in leading Erie to the 2011 D-League playoffs.

Guard Cory Higgins did not make the final roster of the Denver Nuggets, but the Charlotte Bobcats signed him. Higgins' father, Rod Higgins, is the president of basketball operations for the Bobcats.

Chris Daniels, a 7-footer, did not make the final 15-man roster of the Los Angeles Lakers. Daniels is expected to return to Erie for Wednesday's game against Fort Wayne at Tullio Arena.
