Former Kansas Walk-On Guard Now Denver Nuggets Assistant Coach
Chase Buford is not a current Kansas Jayhawks player but a former walk-on guard who won the 2008 national championship and now serves as an assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets. His differentiators include elite resilience as a walk-on, deep Big 12 coaching pedigree under Bill Self, and a proven ability to transition from player to NBA staff. While he has no recent injury history as a player, his intensity and basketball IQ are hallmarks of his coaching style. He is not a fit for a team seeking a current player, but an exceptional fit for a program needing a coach with championship DNA and NBA connections.
