ASU Basketball: Cheatham, Lake leave their mark in brief tenure

When Zylan Cheatham enters a room, all eyes are locked on the redshirt senior. Between an infectious smile and a boisterous personality, his ability to command an audience is unmatched.

It almost makes you forget this is his first and only season playing for Arizona State.

A Phoenix native, Cheatham was recruited by ASU in high school before committing to San Diego State. But, when Hall of Fame coach Steve Fisher retired in April 2017, Cheatham saw an opportunity.

A chance to write the final chapter of his story elsewhere. A chance to help a program on the rise.
