Pick 56: Chase Audige
Philly Frills: 23/08/2023
There�s been
a bit of a time lag since our last article about the 76ers draft day, but we�re
back now to take a look at the next 76er hopeful drafted back in the July draft.
After
dabbling and dealing a bunch of their early 2nd round picks to start
the draft, the 76ers made a point of grabbing a couple of late flier picks to
take a swing on some draft rights, or maybe 2way signings from the NBA
undrafted pile. The first of these was at pick 56 ahead of 57 and 58 which they
also owned.
With the 56th
pick in the NSL draft, the Philadelphia 76ers select�
Chase Audige.
Age: 24
Position: SG/PG
Height: 6�4
NBA Draft Spot: Undrafted
NBA Team: Miami Heat Summer League
Chase, despite
having a really solid college resume as one of the best defenders in college
basketball, including being the 2023 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, went
undrafted in the NBA draft being a 24 year old with still some question marks surrounding
his shooting ability particularly. He�s a non-stop energy ball on defence,
picking up the ball carrier and getting in passing lanes to the tune of 2.4
steals per game in his final year of college. For this reason, the 76ers took a
flier on him. His skillset is what teams covet, and his work ethic could well
see him make some waves into getting onto an NBA roster the same way other
undrafted guys like Gabe Vincent and co have done in the past.
He played
for the Miami Summer League team, where he showed a bit better stroke from deep
as advertised and hounded the ball in his limited minutes. Summer League was
deemed a success for him, and Miami were intrigued to keep him around into
training camp to fight for the remaining (or replace) one of their 2way slots,
or an actual roster spot. However he opted to decline the invite to camp, and
instead look for a deal elsewhere where he believes he�ll have more chance of
making the final roster.
For now, the
76ers are in wait and see mode owning his Rights which cost them nothing, and
seeing if he can land a place somewhere this year or in the future, all for the
cost of a nothing late pick.
We hope to
see Chase ply his defensive skills for the 76ers some day.
