He will be playing college football at SMSU, but will still be a dynamic playmaker on the hardwood this winter. You will be hard-pressed to find a harder worker than Mr. James. Chi is a great defender, an all-out hustler, a relentless rebounder, and an opportunistic scorer. I like his cutting, slashing, and explosive finishing.
