Freshman Cleveland Melvin was selected by the 16 coaches from the BIG EAST as the league?s Rookie of the Year on Tuesday. Melvin led all rookies in scoring throughout the season and earned a league-best four Rookie of the Week honors this season.
Melvin is the second DePaul freshman to win conference honors joining Quentin Richardson. Richardson was named the Conference USA Freshman of the Year in 1999.
Melvin was the BIG EAST?s top freshman scorer with a 14.3 average and ranked fifth in field goal shooting, making 52.2 percent.
