seasoned American guard who brings steady, defense-first energy
Chris Gleaton is a veteran guard for American who has been a low-usage, defense-minded rotation piece, averaging 1.9 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 0.6 steals in the 2023-24 season across 10 games after missing December and January with an injury. His appeal is the little stuff: he can stabilize possessions, hit the occasional open jumper, and bring veteran toughness without needing touches. If you want a high-motor, low-drama backcourt fit who knows his role and competes, he’s the kind of glue guy coaches appreciate.
