    Talent has never been a question for chase,desire has been. How bad does he want it. Thats what seperates players in tiers.

    Wow, are u serious? Bud plays D and rebounds like a high school 2nd string point guard. He's afraid of contact on both ends.

    I find all of that laughable.....how do you measure desire? Does Tim Duncan have desire?

    It looks to me like Chase is just really cofindent in his game, and plays the team oriented style, it fits him....

    Sometimes desire can be mixed up with selfishness......I love how Chase plays the game.

    Are you kidding? Chase is a decent defender, and drives to the rim and gladly takes contact.

    Idk what you were watching this past season.

    I wouldn't call him a decent defender... Every time i remember him being on anyone decent, they'd burn him. Thankfully he didn't have to guard anyone that difficult last season because of Battier and Ariza. Now that ariza is gone I hope C. Lee steps up.

    Keep your hyperbole in check sir. He's not so bad on d and he'll pull down some boards. Although it is pretty fun to just throw out outlandish statements isn't it?

    Hopefully Chase is improving his Defensive Abilities & Skills during this summer. He appears to have Star Potential however even SupaStars can Improve...

    Yes......Duncan has the desire 2 win.

    And don't use Chase's name in the same sentence as Duncan's unless that sentence is "Chase is not better than Duncan"

    You can't compare a rookie 2 a future hall of famer.
