veteran WSU forward with old-school boards-and-bodies value
Aaron Cheatum was a low-usage, high-motor forward for Washington State, posting 0.8 points and 1.1 rebounds per game in the 2014-15 season while playing 5.8 minutes per game[1][2]. His value was never box-score flash; it was physicality, experience, and a reliable team-first background from East Los Angeles College, where he was a captain and averaged 15.2 points and 8.9 rebounds as a sophomore[2][5][15]. If you want toughness, maturity, and a player willing to do the dirty work, Cheatum fits that mold—just not as a headline scorer[2][10].
