Scout Report
Standing 6-3 with elite court vision and basketball IQ, this Chicago point guard is making waves at one of the nation's premier prep programs.
Background
Devin Cleveland hails from Chicago, Illinois, where he developed his game before making the move to La Lumiere School in Indiana. At La Lumiere, he's joining one of the most talent-laden rosters in prep basketball, playing alongside future Notre Dame commits Jalen Haralson and Jonathan Sanderson, plus Maryland-bound Darius Adams. The transition to La Lumiere represents a significant step up in competition as Cleveland continues to refine his craft against elite-level talent.
Playing Style
Cleveland possesses the ideal size for a modern point guard at 6-3, allowing him to see over smaller defenders and create matchup problems when posting up. His basketball IQ stands out as his premier asset, showing advanced court awareness and decision-making ability beyond his years. The Chicago native displays solid handle and passing instincts that suggest he can orchestrate an offense effectively at the next level. While still developing his jump shot consistency and overall athleticism, Cleveland's feel for the game and leadership qualities make him an intriguing floor general prospect.
Recruitment
Currently holding 10 Division I offers, Cleveland has attracted attention from a solid mix of programs including Arkansas, Michigan, Marquette, and Arizona State. His #35 national ranking in the class of 2027 positions him as a quality mid-major to low-major Power 5 prospect with room for upward mobility. Playing at La Lumiere should provide additional exposure and development opportunities that could elevate his recruitment significantly over the next two years.
