Draft prospect Kennedy Chandler: 'I’ll be the next guard that proves everybody wrong'
Draft prospect Kennedy Chandler is one of the most intriguing point guards in the draft.
NBA talent evaluators view Chandler, who was named SEC Tournament MVP in his lone season with Tennessee, as a shifty point guard with good scoring ability who thrives in pick-and-roll sets, changing speeds, and is a disruptive defender who gets into passing lanes.
He’s already worked out for several teams in the teens, including the Hawks, Hornets, Cavaliers, Rockets, Bulls, and the Bucks and Spurs in the 20s.
While traveling between workouts, Chandler spoke with HoopsHype in a phone interview about how Rick Barnes coached him behind the scenes, answering criticism about his size as a point guard, comparisons to two All-Star point guards, and more.
