Another article about Chima lists him as one of 5 mid-major players that the author feels should get a shot at the NBA summer league:
"Chima Moneke (UC Davis): Moneke probably has the most upside of any player on this list. As a senior for the Aggies, he averaged 18.4 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. In fact, he was ninth in the nation in defensive rebounding percentage (29.1%). He didn’t get as much of the limelight as he could have last season due to a suspension and some legal trouble stemming from a violation of team rules. If he didn’t miss the last 10 games of the season, he could have put the Aggies into the NCAA Tournament and gotten his name out there. Not to mention he has a promising build, can shoot well, and hits 51 percent of his field goal attempts."
Good for Chima! There's no use in crying over spilt milk but I still wonder what might have been if he hadn't gotten himself suspended last season. The team played awfully well without him but there's no question that his absence was a huge loss for us. We just might have made a repeat appearance in the NCAA Tournament...
