Can Chandler drive to the basket?

[Dougie_D]

Lamonte was the last player on our team that seemed to drive to the basket. That’s our key in this offense. Will Chandler be able to do that?

Everyone else has to drive during transitional fast breaks.

Keon and Springer ALWAYS stops under the basket. It was terribly obvious

I believe it was Jerry Meyer of 24/7 that said Chandler reminds him of Eric Bledsoe. So, if that comparison is anywhere close he will be explosive in getting to the rim

Yes, he can and does get to the rim and is very proficient. He shoots the 3, and he dishes to his teammates. I've watched several of his games and we are getting the real deal.

 

[VolBricks]

yes, the real question is will Barnes let him "Drive and Dish" to a shooter (whoever that might be).

We need to get a shooter first. Should be priority #1 in the transfer market.

Basketball season ended last week.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Absolutely

 

[Special Ed]

If we could only land a Lofton-esque 3-point shooter as well, we'd be all set at the guard position.

 

[TMvol10]

If we can’t shoot, it won’t matter. Clog the lane just like teams started doing this year. That made Springer and Keon ineffective and it will be the same for Chandler. Gotta find some consistent outside shooting.

like grady out of davidson -- if we cant find multi-year stud

 

[Schasz]

The film clip that appeared on this very fan website showed this kid can do it all for the PG position. I think some feel that CRB has found another TJ Ford. He'll be fun to watch. Having said that it will be nice if CRB can add transfer Shooting Guard who can shoot 3's and a big who can rebound and score inside.

 

[brockytop]

Watched Chandler’s team beat Montverde and he sure looked like he could get to the rim in that game. Also an unselfish player with quickness and speed TN’s rarely had at PG.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Chandler sounds like he can step in right where Bone left off.

 

[johnfnkelly]

He's a right handed Mike Conley.

No, Rim Protection and Rebounding BIG(s) is priority #1. Vescovi and Bailey return and with off season workouts should improve in the area of shooting. An additional shooter wouldn't hurt, but think who we have returning as our BIGS.

Keon and Springer never dished it out. Vescovi would but he didn’t drive towards basket as much this year

A person currently in the SEC I’d compare him to is Scottie Pippen jr. KC has more athleticism, I have confidence he’ll be able to use his quickness to get to the rim and draw fouls at a high clip like Pippen jr does.

 

[JRVOL11]

Lol go watch his highlights. He will be breaking every one down next year easily.

Ehh, I don’t see it.

I think Chandler is more polished coming out of high school than Pippen Jr was.

A bigger Tyler Ulis is a better comparison.

 

[Doctrippin]

I guess it's a little consolation that Oregon State is now E8 in the tournament.

He had no problem allowing Bone and Turner, why would he have a problem with Chandler?

I like the comparison of Kenny Anderson! Small, quick, extremely good vision, and handles, and can pull up/ drive to the basket. KC will be special and make players around him better!

 

[CornbreadVol]

Kennedy Chandler is 1 of 14 HS athletes named to the USA Nike hoops summit roster

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Here is a little mixtape of his highlights I just found. I would say he knows how to get to the hoop

 

[SGMVols]

Might be the most athletic point guard we’ve ever signed. His ability to finish at that small size is insane.
