quick guard, steady creator, and a proven La Salle two-way spark
Mike Cleaves is a 5-10 guard known for playmaking, toughness, and pace; in the 2003-04 season he averaged 6.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists for La Salle, and he added about 31 steals that year, showing active hands and pressure defense[1][2]. He’s the kind of smaller guard who can juice a backcourt with energy and ball movement, though the shooting profile was uneven in that season, so he fits best with a team that values grit, creation, and competitive edge over pure scoring polish[1][2].
