Absolutely, good luck. Performance wasn't as expected, but a good MU representative. Who knows, maybe the pro-game will be his thing.

Crazier things have happened. Chase could be a defense, transition, and spot shooting guy in the NBA if he gets a bit more consistent with his shot. He's a solid role player, just not meant to be the guy.

Chase does have an NBA body and NBA athleticism, he plays hard, and is tough as nails.  Wouldn't surprise me at all if he finds his way to the League at some point.

Nah. He's part of a jazz trio. Plays the sax. Sex, sax...easy to confuse the two words.

I'm hoping he plays somewhere, whether the NBA, Europe, wherever.

Chase will absolutely play somewhere.

The amount of Marquette basketball players (scholarshipped for the the ass hats) who didnt leave the program early who DONT play professional basketball somewhere is very slim.

Yea, basketball is the largest professional sport in the world after soccer, thus the opportunities abound. And yes there is a huge gulf between the  NCAA and the NBA, or Euroleague/Spanish/Greek League...but the NCAA is a level above many leagues, especially if you're talking P5 level. If you have any interest at all, the offers are there abroad.

Dwight Burke and Trend Blackledge both played 10+ years abroad in Europe and Asia, respectively.

More recently, Kur Kuath has been playing in the top 3-4 leagues in Europe since MU.  Averaged 5 pts a game but that was still good enough to get him to Greece. Sacar has played in good leagues in Europe for awhile. Hell, Jayce Johnson is currently in the top level of Turkish ball.

And none of those guys got Portsmouth invites. If Chase doesn't get drafted and doesn't go 2-way/G League, he will be playing in Europe or Japan in a league we are all familiar with, not like a team in Kosovo, Luxembourg, Mongolia, or Bahrain
