The erstwhile UCLA defender is drawing preseason raves - most importantly, from the boss.

"Chance has done very well," said Wizards head coach Curt Onalfo. "He's adapted more quickly than I thought, he gets the ball off his feet quickly."

"Tactically, he's very good," he continued. "He can create chances going forward and still get back defensively."

"He's a complete player who's going to be very beneficial to the club."
