Fred Cleveland Jr. brings veteran lead-guard juice to NCCU
In the 2023-24 season, Fred Cleveland Jr. was North Carolina Central’s engine: he averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds while leading the MEAC in assists and ranking among the conference’s most productive shooters from deep and at the foul line[2][6][10][13]. His calling card is pace control with real edge—he’s a compact 5-9 guard who can score, create, and pressure defenses, and his double-double and 20-point outings show he can take over when the game gets messy[7][12]. If a team wants a savvy, fearless floor general with proven production, he’s the kind of guard who makes the whole offense hum[2][13].
