 Calbert CheaneySG6'7"20921IndianaCheaney is a bit one-dimensional but he shined at that one dimension in college. He left Indiana as not only their all-time leading scorer, but the all-time leading scorer in the Big Ten. Cheaney is the rare ferocious dunker and sweet shooter. He has a smooth jumper and all kind of range. Although his coaches as Indiana didn't give him the trigger to pull from deep as often as he should've, he managed to convert 44% of his threes in college, showing the ability to hit on both catch and shoot opportunities and off the dribble. At worst, Cheaney will serve as a deep threat in any TMBSL offense. He has also showed the ability to use the threat of his deep shot to take advantage of defenders closing out too hard, stepping by them for a mid-range jumper or navigating his way further into the paint to finish in the lane. He is a strong backdoor cutter and will also crash the offensive boards hard to look for easy put-back opportunities. Cheaney is less of an asset defensively. While he doesn't lack the athleticism to be a good defender, he is definitely someone who reserves his energy for the offensive end of the floor. He isn't going to be much of a disruptor in terms of creating steals or blocks, and he constantly looked to leak out into transition rather than assist on the defensive boards. His aggressiveness on the offensive end of the floor also means he's often MIA in transition defense which can be a bit of a liability. Relative to his class, this prospect is a young senior but he is a four year starter in the Big Ten and scouts believe he's pretty refined at this point; without making a major improvement in effort on the defensive end doesn't really have much more to tap into in terms of potential. |

Sounds like my kind of guy! Gotta find space on the roster for a guy like him. Just a good culture fit |

Is he the only "Calbert" in history?

Apparently Calbert is a variation of Calvert.
The more you learn.

His left arm looks incredibly short in that picture.
