Chance Westry’s breakout at UAB was real: playmaker, scorer, and conference award magnet
In the 2025-26 season, Chance Westry emerged as UAB’s engine, averaging 15.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds while starting 27 of 32 games and earning All-American Conference Second Team and All-Newcomer honors[1][2]. His best calling card is the blend of size, shot creation, and passing feel: he posted a program-record 15 assists in one game, led the Blazers in assists and steals, and twice earned Player of the Week recognition during a hot late-season run[1][2][4]. The big question for fits is health and consistency beyond one strong season, but when he’s right, he looks like a high-level lead guard who can tilt a game with pace, vision, and toughness[2][13].
