And, given the perspective locally one can provide, Cheatham is an awesome dude. There hasn’t been a player in Tempe this decade that has been raved about more as a person than him. Keep in mind, too, that Cheatham only spent two years at ASU, being eligible in only his senior year after transferring.

His emotion and workrate translate on the floor. The Suns could always use more rebounding, and Cheatham snagged 10.3 a night as a senior at only a listed 6-foot-8. That’s all about having a certain mentality.

There’s a lot of asterisks we have to add here, to be fair. The handle is functional, but not desirable. His jumper for a 23-year-old projects farther away than it needs to be to inspire confidence. His lateral quickness is not on an elite level, meaning his upside as a switcher isn’t top-tier.

Jones described Cheatham’s energy in the workout as “off the charts.”

“He brought an energy that kind of resonated in the building,” Jones said.

To go back to what Jones wants, in Phoenix, Cheatham fits right in as a four-man doing everything.

Can he shoot? I only saw their tournament games.

I think we should draft Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.

His shot is not good.
