Colorado’s Sabatino Chen: versatile senior guard who brought timely shot-making and steady two-way effort
Chen’s value at Colorado was as a reliable, high-IQ senior guard who could defend, rebound from the wing, and make winning plays without needing volume touches. In 2012-13, he started 20 of 33 games and posted career-best production with 4.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals, and 43 assists, while also flashing real moments as a clutch perimeter option, including a 15-point game at Arizona and a buzzer-beater against the Wildcats. His differentiator was toughness and usefulness in multiple roles, making him a fit for teams that want a seasoned glue guy rather than a usage-heavy scorer.[1][2]
