It’s an indescribable feeling.” » IMPROVED 150%: “I’ve improved 150% here. I think I’m a way better player than I was in March. When I first came here, I was skinny. I could not shoot. I could not dribble. I couldn’t do any of that stuff. Now, we got bigger. We got stronger. We got faster. We can shoot. We can put it on the floor. We can dunk even better. We can run the court for real, for real.” OTHER NOTES » BLOCK PARTY: Finished sixth in the Big Sky Conference with 31 blocks as a sophomore in 2019-20. » STAFF FAMILIARITY: Was recruited by Bryce Drew and Casey Shaw at Vanderbilt, but they had no remaining scholarships DIMA and Zdor chose Weber State. 1 ZDOR FORWARD/CENTER • JUNIOR 6-10 • 215 GAME LOG YALTA, UKRAINE SAINT JAMES SCHOOL / WEBER STATE SHOOTING REBOUNDING Opponent Date GS Min FG 3PT FT O D T A PF A TO BLK STL PTS AVG STATISTICS Grambling State Nov. 25 13 1-5 .200 0-1 .000 2-4 .500 1 3 4 4.0 3 1 0 0 0 4 4.0 3.0 2.6 0.6 50.0% 42.9% 0.0% Benedictine Nov. 28 6 1-2 .500 0-0 .000 0-0 .000 0 0 0 2.0 3 0 0 0 0 2 3.0 Mississippi Valley St. Dec. 1 12 3-4 .750 0-0 .000 1-3 .333 3 4 7 3.7 2 0 2 0 0 7 4.3 PPG RPG APG FG% FT% 3P% Nevada Dec. 11 7 1-1 1.000 0-0 .000 0-0 .000 0 0 0 2.8 0 2 0 0 0 2 3.8 TRACKING Season GCU career Arizona State DNP - coach’s decision 10+ points 0 0 San Francisco Dec. 20 3 0-0 .000 0-0 .000 0-0 .000 0 2 2 2.6 0 0 0 0 0 0 3.0 10+ rebounds 0 0 5+ assists 0 0 Double-doubles 0 0 Led GCU in points 0 0 CAREER HIGHS PREVIOUS SCHOOL POINTS REB.

NOTES THIS SEASON » HOT START: Not only did Chance score his first career points against Benedictine Mesa on Nov. 28, he promptly also recorded his first double-figure scoring game. He shot 4 for 5 with three 3-pointers in GCU’s win. » SIGNING: Was an early signee along with Liam Lloyd and Rashad Smith in November 2019. “That was a feeling I couldn’t even describe. I was just thanking my mom for how she helped me come through a long journey.” OTHER NOTES » PREPPIN’: Spent the 2019-20 season at Golden State Prep. Drew: “When you go to a year of prep school, I think it’s kind of like your freshman year. You really learn a lot. It gives you a year to mature. He had the skill and athleticism but it gave his body a chance to add muscle and strength, which really helped his game in his postgraduate year.” CHANCE » MVP: Played his final year of high school at Jesse Bethel in Vallejo. Was named the Tri-County Athletic League Stone 2 McMILLIAN Division MVP after averaging 28.8 points during conference play. GUARD • FRESHMAN 6-2 • 170 GAME LOG VALLEJO, CALIF.
