Matthew Cleveland earns ACC Freshman of the Week honors Florida State freshman Matthew Cleveland earned ACC Freshman of the Week honors for his play in FSU's 83-81 victory on Saturday at NC State....
Solid stat line in return Cleveland registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 83-81 victory over North Carolina State.
Impact Cleveland sat out a Dec. 15 contest due to what was described as a medical issue, so it's a good sign he's back in the rotation just over two weeks later. He ended up seeing more minutes than any other FSU reserve while putting up the third most points of any Seminole. The four-star recruit has been an inconsistent fantasy producer early on, but this could be a solid performance to build on heading into ACC play.

Fills stat sheet off bench Cleveland amassed 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 81-80 OT victory over Boston University.
Impact Cleveland has been an inspiring player off the bench for the Seminoles and looked impressive in this one, as he left his mark on both ends of the court and delivered a key role in the team's win. It's worth noting he has scored in double digits in three straight games and in four of his last five contests.

Leads Seminoles off bench Cleveland recorded 13 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 73-45 win over Loyola Marymount.
Impact Despite coming off the bench, Cleveland was the Seminoles' best player in terms of scoring and looked impressive across the board. Even if he doesn't start regularly, he holds decent fantasy upside due to his scoring ability. He has scored at least nine points in three of his first four contests.
