LAS VEGAS — Chase Jeter said Arizona’s season ending in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament “hurts a lot” but he is happy how his game progressed as a redshirt junior.
“I think it’s come along tremendously,” he said Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena.
After all, the big man averaged a career-high 10.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in his first season with the Wildcats, a huge step up from the 2.1 points and 2.2 rebounds he averaged across two seasons with the Duke Blue Devils.
“When I came to Arizona I knew I wanted a role and an opportunity like this, and I think for a major part of the year I was able to show that,” Jeter said.
