Nazier Chew has an interesting story. Last year during the Grand Finale he played for the Trenton Hurricanes. His squad ran into a tough 14U Team Nelson and took a big loss. Following this game his squad decided to break up leaving him without a spot to rock. As fate would have it Team Nelson 13U squad needed a point guard and Chew answered the bell. He helped lead them through two legs of the Triple Crown. Now he enters this season regarded as one of the top guards in the region. We sat down with him for the Final Quarter and here’s what he had to say.
8:00
BS: How did it feel winning the Triple Crown last year?
NC: It was a good experience because we won all the Basketball Spotlight tournaments and no one else can say that.
7:00
BS: What was it like playing for Team Nelson?
NC: At first it was tough because I always played with the Canes and my dad was the coach. Once I settled in it got a little easier and now my teammates are like family.
6:00
BS: Speaking of your dad, how did it feel to play for another coach?
NC: It was also difficult because I think my dad is a great coach. It was an adjustment because my dad is real hard on me when he coaches. But I definitely enjoy the experience.
5:00
BS: What high schools are you interested in?
NC: Well Trenton Catholic seems like a favorite, they are building a nice program. There are a few North Jersey schools that are also showing interest.
4:00
BS: Who would you say is the toughest player you competed against?
NC: I would have to say Shep Garner because he has size and skills. He’s a big combo guard which makes him a tough match up.
3:00
BS: What do you feel about player rankings?
NC: I think it’s cool but it could also hurt a player’s confidence. I mean its good when your name is included but if not then I guess you have to use it as motivation.
2:00
BS: What do you like to d when you are not playing basketball?
NC: Just chill out with my friends that played for The Canes we are still family.
1:00
BS: Who is your favorite player and why?
NC: Brandon Jennings, when I first saw him play I was in 5th grade and I loved his flashy passes and plays. I try to add that to my game but also keep it a little simple.
