The 2002 MAC Player of the Year at Bowling Green went undrafted, so McLeod took the long way — USBL, CBA, Italy — before earning real NBA minutes with the Jazz in 2004–06. Utah packaged him with Devin Brown and Andre Owens in the July 2006 trade that brought Derek Fisher to Salt Lake City.
A Canton, Ohio native with a computer science degree, he kept playing from Albuquerque to Estonia, where he hit a buzzer-beater in his first VTB League game, then came home to coach — today he leads the varsity boys at East Canton High School.
HOW HE CAME & WENTUndrafted out of Bowling Green, he worked through the USBL and CBA and signed with Utah on September 30, 2004, starting 79 of his 119 games. On July 12, 2006 he went to Golden State in the Derek Fisher trade.
