I love Chiacchia’s game so much. He won’t wow you with vertical athleticism, but he’s very strong and has wonderful footwork in the paint. Any post move you’re thinking of, he has it in his bag. And despite the fact that he’s undersized for the big-man position, his density and strength make him very difficult to handle in the paint. He isn’t getting D1 offers, likely because he looks like the type of guy that would excel in a YMCA league, but once coaches watch him for awhile they’ll start to understand how fundamentally sound and effective he is. Just give him a chance.
