FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas freshman forward Reggie Chaney is no stranger to playing in big games. He was a centerpiece in many over the last two years at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., located just a half hour south of Las Vegas down Interstate 15.
At an early age, Reggie Lee, Chaney’s father, knew his son had a chance to be special with a basketball in his hands. As a second-grader, Chaney played up a level on a third-grade elite team, showcasing his potential throughout challenging practices and games. Even then, Lee marveled at Chaney’s footwork and how quickly he picked up on the ins and outs of the game.
