Derek Sloan brings a high-effort, interior-minded forward profile from Cleveland State
In his Cleveland State playing days, Derek Sloan was a low-usage but efficient forward who contributed as a rebounder and shot-blocker, finishing his 2017-18 season with 3.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, and a .563 field-goal percentage while also ranking among league leaders in blocks. That profile suggests a player who can help with physicality, rim protection, and hustle rather than shot creation, which can fit teams needing toughness, defensive activity, and reliable energy minutes.
