He played college basketball for College of Charleston. He was born in Orlando, Florida where he grew up and went to Apopka High School.

College career

Chealey was a part of the 2013 recruiting class and was a part of the College of Charleston Cougars' 14-18 team as a freshman. After the season, coach Earl Grant was hired and Chealey developed a strong relationship with him despite the team winning just nine games in Grant's first season.[1] Chealey missed his junior year with a torn Achilles tendon in one of the first practices.[2] He averaged 17.2 points per game 3.3 assists per game as a redshirt junior and was named to the First-team All-CAA.[3] As a senior, Chealey was seventh in the conference in scoring with 18.0 points per game and fifth in assists with 3.7 assists per game. He was a repeat selection to the First-team All-CAA.[4] He had 32 points in an 83-76 overtime victory over Northeastern in the conference championship to punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament.[5] Chealey was also named to the CAA All-Tournament team for a second straight season.[6][7]

Professional career

After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft, Chealey played for the Charlotte Hornets 2018 summer league team.[8] On July 27, 2018, Chealey joined the Hornets on a training camp deal.[9] On October 13, his contract was converted into a two-way contract, meaning he will split his playing time between the Hornets and their NBA G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, for the majority of the season.
