Men’s Basketball Wing Players Ready to Showcase Athleticism This Winter

Blessed with productive wing players, Georgia Gwinnett College men’s basketball Head Coach Chase Teichmann’s last three squads at Florida College combined to average 86.6 points per game to achieve an 86-15 record. 

These players could stretch opposing defenses with their accurate 3-point shooting, while also having the ability to score by taking the ball to the rim.

That same philosophy had followed Teichmann to Lawrenceville and could lead the Grizzlies to success in their inaugural season.

However, Teichmann’s first GGC team could be even more athletic and productive on the perimeter than his past teams.

GGCAthletics.com highlights these players as the season quickly approaches with the program’s first game on Thursday, October 23, against Spartanburg Methodist College (South Carolina) in GGC’s new The Convocation Center.

“A wing is not a big man and is not a lead guard who will bring the ball up the floor, it’s a wide variety in the middle. This is a nice luxury to have – offensively and defensively,” stated Teichmann in the final weeks of preseason practice. 

A case in point is senior Drew Kramer, a 6-foot-7 player who is a sharpshooter from beyond the 3-point field goal arc as well as being a stiff defensive presence. The Lakeland, Florida, native played three seasons for Teichmann at Florida College, connecting on a team-best 67 3-pointers during the 2023-24 campaign.

Manny Montgomery is another senior who brings experience to the Grizzlies’ roster after playing at NCAA Division II University of Minnesota Duluth. The 6-foot-5 wing from Bloomington, Minnesota, ranked second nationally in scoring, averaging nearly 28 points per game, and contributed 10 rebounds and four assists per game while earning first National Junior College Athletic Association team honors at Dakota Technical College (Minnesota). He made an amazing 57 percent of his field goals, including 35 percent of his 3-pointers as a sophomore.

The abundance of riches for GGC’s wings also features junior Devontre Chaney, a 6-foot-5 player who is coming off scoring 15.6 points, grabbing nine rebounds and making 5.1 assists per contest at Palm Beach State College (Florida). The Lake Wales, Florida, native was a junior college all-region performer. 

The 2025-26 season will be Chaney’s first in over a calendar year after joining the Lawrenceville-based college. He originally signed with Teichmann at Florida College for 2024-25 but followed the coach north to Georgia.

“Devontre literally doesn’t have a position because at 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds I can throw him in at guard, wing or forward. He can play point guard, can be a bowling ball coming downhill in transition, competes on the defensive end, and might be our leading rebounder,” said Teichmann.

Meanwhile, preparing for their first college seasons are freshmen Aldrion Jones, Kolton Kurek and Amari Morgan, while versatile junior Brasen James add depth to the team’s perimeter.

Morgan ranked as one of Georgia’s top small forwards, at 6-foot-6, last season while helping lead Lanier High School to a state tournament final four appearance.

The coach can’t wait for the Grizzlies to tip off the season October 23 against Spartanburg Methodist College (South Carolina).

“This team probably will be more balanced offensively than any team I have ever coached,” he assessed.
