Former University of Detroit standout Chase Simon will play in Greece next season
September 26, 2012 in Professional
Former University of Detroit and Detroit Community guard Chase Simon will play professionally in Greece this season. According to EuroBasket, Simon signed with the Aris club team in September:
Chase Simon is the product of Detroit Mercy. As a senior he recorded 13.3ppg, 4.4rpg and 2.4apg last season. Together with his team they won Horizon League Tournament. In July “the Chicken” played 1 game for the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Pro Summer League in Las Vegas. He scored 4 pointes and grabbed 2 rebounds.
At 6-foot-7, Simon is a big guard, especially by Europe standards. He’ll likely need to improve his outside shooting. He can hit the three, but he’s been a bit streaky in his career, shooting in the low-to-mid 30s during his college career.
He’s the third Titan from last year’s team to get a professional deal. Eli Holman will play in Israel and LaMarcus Lowe will play in Holland.
