Chandler Going Pro

[willinhf]

Just got notification on ESPN.

Vols PG Chandler says he's entering NBA draft

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Not a shock and given that he may be taken in the 15-20 range, probably a good financial move for him...

 

[cncchris33]

We can't compete with middle of the 1st round money if that's where he ends up. And I hope he does. He gave us his all for the year he was here.

 

[jabroni]

Congratulations to Kennedy!! I hope he balls out in the NBA

 

[SJAVol32]

Came here with a lot of expectations and hyped and to me lived up to it. Hit a freshman wall and pushed through it. If he would’ve been a 80+ percent free throw shooter I think he draft stock would be a little bit higher. Was a pleasure to watch him! Respect KC!

 

[Chemvol]

Best of luck to you, Kennedy!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I wish he got a better send-off because he deserved a lot more than how we finished, but he will be a fondly remembered Volunteer for a loooooong time. Kid is a stud and one of the few highly touted recruits to live up to the billing as a one-and-done here. Good luck Kennedy. You will be missed.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Man wish Chandler could’ve made it to the sweet 16 for a better send off but hey that sec championship is pretty sweet!! Best of luck to chandler and now I have someone to follow in the nba.

BJ Edwards….

Next man up!

 

[jtdavis]

Best of luck to this young man. Hope he does well.

I was listening on the radio to the Michigan game, and it sounded like he was giving it his all on the offensive end, during the last 10-12 minutes, but other than zz, didn't get much help. I think he lived up to the hype, and became a really good player at the end of the season.

 

[vavolfan6]

Really wish he could have stayed another year and perfected his game. Better free throw shooting, a higher percentage 3 point shot and more aggressiveness towards the rim were all areas where he could have easily improved his draft stock. He was great all year though and turned up a level toward the end of the season. So I understand.

I just dont want him to get stashed away like Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer on the G-League and then get traded around.

BJ Edwards….

Next man up!

Wish it were that easy. Gimme Murray and Phillips and we're gonna be a load next season.

 

[minorvol]

Hope KC crushes it. Good luck and thank you for being a VOL.

 

[SGMVols]

BJ Edwards….

Next man up!

Let’s not put that kind of pressure on him as a true freshman. He will be a very good 3-4 year player but isn’t going to replace what KC gave us in his first year.

 

[JCP201]

He's going to be hard to replace. One of my favorites. Hope he does well.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

We can't compete with middle of the 1st round money if that's where he ends up. And I hope he does. He gave us his all for the year he was here.

Sure would be rotten to see him slip to the second round. Hope he gets picked high, but can see him slip. It only takes one team to fall in love.

 

[SlyStone]

Congrats Kennedy Chandler, thank you for playing hard and wanting to win! Much success in the NBA. I know you will do well.

I will be curious to see where our last 3 “ one and done “
guys are 5 years from now. I could see them anywhere
from stars to busts.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Well deserved for Chandler and I think he will do well at the next level. Those will be big shoes to fill next season.

 

[JRVOL11]

one of the best to do it here, will be missed. looking forward to watching his nba career.

Tobias Harris has signed guaranteed contracts in excess of a quarter billion dollars...

keon will be very good by year 5. he’s already finding his shot & has been shooting well. springer is very young & will be pretty developed by then.

 

[esarmstrong]

I'm gonna miss him. Nothing like having lottery-pick talent at the point guard position.

 

[johnnybravo]

Best Freshman I’ve ever seen at UT.
Best PG I’ve ever seen at UT.
As much heart as I’ve seen wear orange.
To see him roll his ankle 3 times and still come out and finish against MSU and dominate KY and A&M was incredible to see.
To see him break completely down in the loss to Michigan will be something I will always remember. He will be one of my all time favorites even though he only shined for one year.

Good luck Mr. Chandler.
