Auburn transfer Devan Cambridge now serves as the X-factor for Arizona State men's basketball. Can he help the Sun Devils defeat the No. 7 Wildcats?
A lot of players are given a nickname by a teammate. In other cases, it is a coach. For Arizona State men's basketball standout Devan Cambridge, his nickname of"Bounceman" came courtesy of a fan.
"She said I'm going to call you Bounceman and she changed her Instagram to Bouncewoman," Devan said after the Sun Devils wrapped up practice Thursday afternoon at Weatherup Center."It kind of grew from there." He makes what head coach Bobby Hurley likes to call the"hustle plays." He will take a charge and draw the foul on a defender, deflect a pass and create a turnover, make a diving attempt to keep a ball in play and snag a big rebound. His energy is contagious. He is also viewed as a leader in the locker room.
"Me not being the most skilled person as a lot of the players around me, I had to do all the things other people don't. It was my way to get on the court and that was like my freshman year. I couldn't guard a ball screen to save my life. So I had to learn to do different things. When you have a bunch of talented players around you, it's a way you can stand out," he said."I try to push my teammates to do all those things too.
