Clemson basketball’s pro pipeline just keeps getting stronger, and Tiger Nation has plenty to roar about. Hot on the heels of Ian Schieffelin’s move to the Miami Heat, the news broke that his backcourt brother, Chase Hunter, is taking his talents to the NBA Summer League. Hunter is officially suiting up for the Golden State Warriors, giving him a golden chance to put his exciting playmaking on display for the entire Bay Area—and to make every Clemson fan proud.

Hunter’s journey to the Bay Area is the latest chapter in a story Tiger fans know well—one of grit, growth, and never backing down. After going undrafted, Hunter didn’t blink. He signed on with the New Orleans Pelicans and battled through a full season in the G-League with the Birmingham Squadron, flashing that trademark Clemson toughness and scoring punch. Over thirty games, he put up 7.8 points, 1.9 assists, and 1.9 rebounds per night, sharpening his game against hungry pros. That grind has him battle-tested and set to seize his shot with the Warriors this summer.

Every Clemson fan remembers the ice in Chase Hunter’s veins when the lights were brightest. The Atlanta native carved out a legendary career in the Upstate, earning his place as one of the most clutch postseason Tigers ever. He served as the heartbeat of Clemson’s unforgettable run to the Elite Eight, the kind of March magic we’d waited over forty years to see. Hunter put the team on his back, pouring in nearly 18 points a night as our underdog Tigers toppled giants like Baylor and Arizona. That’s the kind of legacy that lives forever in Tiger Town.

Hunter’s name is permanently engraved in Clemson lore—third all-time in scoring with 1,789 points, and the iron man of the program with more games and minutes played than anyone who’s ever worn the Tiger paw. Now, he’s set to take the floor in the California Classic, with the whole country watching. This is his shot to turn a Summer League invite into a full-time NBA gig, and you can bet every Clemson fan will be cheering him on every step of the way.
