"Talking to the all coaches and tak- ing my official, I built a really strong relationship with all of them," Chat- man said. "I felt like they had every- thing I wanted in a coaching staff.

His versatility and ability to see the floor gives him the potential of being an excellent playmaker, scorer and defender for us at many different positions."

Once he adds a little more strength to his game, he's going to be a com- pletely unstoppable player."
