Whether or not his college career ends on a high note, he has the ability to one day be a solid basketball coach. He takes to basketball information like a bee to honey... He's technical with his training, working on move after move. Long jump shots. Short. One move, dribble, shoot. Pivot, fake, shoot. He's got it all.

Now he needs to show it in practice, and before that, during preseason practice which starts in mid October.

Tchana will be much improved this season if he can improve his game instincts. In the past, he's struggled to catch the last-second, no-look passes, times when he has no time to think.

Tchana suffered severe dehydration during a late December practice and never returned to the court. He's promised that he's eating better, the cause of his medical woes.
