proven Redbird shooter, steady veteran presence
Justin McCloud’s Illinois State profile is built on shooting and reliability: in the 2015-16 season, he played all 32 games, averaged 4.0 points, and hit 33.3% from three, after making 38.7% of his threes in 2014-15. Illinois State described him as a shooter with a quick release and great range, and his value was more about floor spacing, maturity, and dependable effort than gaudy box-score volume. If a roster needs a low-drama, high-accountability guard who can stretch defenses and fit cleanly into a role, McCloud is that kind of plug-in piece.
