Charles Patrick "Chuck" Eidson Jr. (born October 10, 1980) is an American former professional basketball player who last played for UNICS Kazan of the VTB United League. He is 2.03 m (6 ft 8 in) tall and he played mainly at the small forward position. He could also play at both the point guard and shooting guard positions, as well as a point forward.
Eidson played high school basketball at Pinewood Preparatory School, where he was a Parade All-American and South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year. He also played at the Albert Schweitzer Tournament in 1998, and at the Nike Hoop Summit in 1999.
Eidson played college basketball at the University of South Carolina, with the Gamecocks men's basketball team.
After his college career with the University of South Carolina Gamecocks, Eidson spent a season with the North Charleston Lowgators of the NBDL. After a short stint with the Boston Celtics, he signed a one-year deal with the Gießen 46ers in the German Basketball Bundesliga. The team, that was on the verge of relegation the season before, was brought back to life by Eidson, who led the 46ers to the Bundesliga playoffs against RheinEnergie Köln. In the decisive game five, Eidson scored 40 points, leading Gießen to a 3–2 series win and straight to the semifinals, where they lost against the eventual champion GHP Bamberg. For his stellar performance, the Small Forward was named the 2004–05 Bundesliga MVP. In a pre-season game versus EnBW Ludwigsburg the following fall, Eidson suffered a torn ACL and sat out 172 days before returning to the starting lineup of the 46ers in a Bundesliga game against BG Karlsruhe. Only three games later, Eidson torched TBB Trier for 41 points. After the season, Eidson left Germany and signed with Strasbourg IG in the French Pro A, where he also gained EuroCup experience. One year later, he signed with the Lithuanian powerhouse Lietuvos Rytas of Vilnius.
