He spent less than two years in the NBA academy. That wasn't the entirety of his basketball career prior to coming to Marquette. He played for schools and the New Zealand national team programs for years before that.

How he was used prior to NBA academy would be speculative on my part. But international development of players is very different from what is done in US. All I've seen is NBA academy and senior New Zealand team.

Chase getting a C is ridiculous. He's the only reason this team has been competitive in the close losses we've had. Chase's efforts this year are close to on par with Kam last year just because he has so much less around him to work with.

Yeah, his defense has been a lot worse. But I assume that's mostly because of the necessary increase in his offensive role.

Right.

I'm not going to blame this debacle on Ross.  In fact, about now he's probably thinking he should have ditched the
RGV for WINS ...

He's surrounded by an awful roster.

Not sure how to grade this team. Maryland should have been a W. Oklahoma too. Wisconsin isn't an asss kicking if we hit some shots. I mean, could you shoot any worse?? Thus, 7 wins right now isn't far fetched. Alas, as a team we are a C-/D+ Individually, Chase is a B (Wisconsin game not withstanding). James a B-. Rest of team C- or worse. Coaching, D. Apparently Shaka flunked classes on talent assessment, although I do like Stevens and Phillips, and what I'm hearing about the RS's and incoming. Let's hope Shaka passed the TJ Otzelberger class on roster development, and '26/27 will be better.

what's his layup percentage made?

No I think it's good. But I also think he should spend more time in the paint on offense & defense.

Near the basket Ben is a bucket getter.  We need more of that
