Cavanaugh is currently ranked 2nd to last on the team (ahead of only Andre) in terms or PER according to basketball-reference.com. For those that are unfamiliar with PER, it is a John Hollinger invention that essentially compiles everything that a basketball player does on the court.
The "league" average is 15 and allows for comparison not just across the league but from season to season as well.
Cav's PER is 7.8, while Travis' 23.6 leads the team. CJ is in second among scholarship players with a 17.1, with Thomas at 16.9.
Even Chase has a 10.0 PER. It is worth noting that PER works much, much better in the NBA than in college. Also, CMM has the 3rd worst PER on the team at 9.8, so take those stats with a grain of salt.
Just another way to look at the overall body of work of a player.
While PER does take into effect defensive statistics (blocks and steals, both of which can be deceiving as to how a player is defensively), it is usually the best utilized for offensive performance.
Also, for those that wanted CJ on Curry instead of Travis down the stretch, keep in mind that CJ's defensive rating (same as offensive rating, just on the defensive side) is 108.7, worst on the team. Travis' has a 97.8 defensive rating, 3rd best on the team.
We will miss CJ a lot next year on the offensive side, but defensively he will be replaceable to say the least, especially if Madison gets a fair amount of his minutes with a 101.8 defensive rating.
