"As far as my individual responsibilities of pushing the ball or picking up defensively, those are just things that I do naturally." Chase could be pushing second-year guard Chris Quinn out of a third-team job. Chase plays aggressive defense and can hit the open shot. Plus, he seems to move the ball around the perimeter efficiently.</p> <div> </p> However, coach Pat Riley said the Heat could keep four point guards, Chase and Quinn, as well as starter Jason Williams and backup Smush Parker.</p> </p> The outlook also seems optimistic for Marcus Slaughter, the former San Diego State standout who is getting a try at both forward spots, and Jeremy Richardson, a 6-foot-7 shooting guard who had 10-day contracts with Atlanta and Portland last season. -- <font color="#000000">Palm Beach Post</font></p></div></div>
