I apologize for letting the updates for Chou slip the past month. In the past month Chou has played in 8 games, 3 in a tournament in Mesa, Arizona, and the past 5 against conference opponents. The conference season is going to be the most important time to evaluate Chou's growth and abilities as a player this season as he will be facing consistently tough opponents each night. As I have said before, the Scenic West Athletic Conference is one of the premier conferences in the NJCAA. As of last week SLCC and both Idaho schools were ranked in the national Top 25 poll.

Chou had his best statistical output against the weakest opponent Colorado Northwest CC. He scored 13 points and grabbed 3 boards in 32 minutes on the floor. But I was more impressed with his game against Snow College. He ended up only taking one shot in the 25 minutes he played, but he grabbed 4 rebounds, handed out 3 assists, and came up with a steal. He played solid defense the whole night, and showed the ability to help his team while facilitating his teammates offense. Not to throw out stereotypes out any group, but the ability to make other players better is pretty rare among Taiwanese basketball players. Taiwanese players like to shoot and score, and in the SBL at times it feels like no other stat matters. Chou is showing some real growth as an all-around ball player.
