Who is the White Kid, #3 in black? He was ballin himself.

Chandler looks explosive but looks as though he needs to work on his shooting touch from deep. But he is impressive.

Also, #10 in black has the most natural, smoothest jumping ability I've ever seen. It's like he puts no effort to dunk. Doesn't bunch up to jump and all of a sudden, he is rim high with his head to dunk the ball.

I think this is him. This team has high rated prospects from 2021 and 2022.

I thought #10 stood out as well. What is his name, and how is he rated?

Good interview with KC where he talks about Tennessee. Mentions he texts with Jaden and Keon, and that he thinks we could get 2 more commits in his signing class. With Pons and likely Keon and/or Jaden gone after this year you can tell the staff has told him they’re trying to get 2 more. Wonder who it ends up being, besides the obvious being BHH.

BHH recently doubled down on the idea of staying in the 2022 class. He could be blowing smoke, but as of right now, it at least appears like he isn’t an option for 2021.

I posted the following in the RF, and this was a few days ago before the final roster was announced:

Gary Parrish said this week that Kennedy Chandler will win whatever he plays. He may be on the small side, but he will be a winner at UT and in the pros. This was in response to the report that the USA U19 team is down to 19 players for a 12 man roster. Parrish said, "I'd keep Chandler on that team because he will win." I loved hearing it on MEMPHIS radio.

GP is more objective than others on Memphis radio. But the difference is that most here are talking openly about how good Chandler is. They know. Most of the time, with a kid that escapes UM, they try to justify why he didn't end up with the local school.

Kennedy Chandler | 6-1 | PG | Tennessee | USA | Age: 18.8
Coming off the bench as part of a stacked U.S. backcourt, Chandler did an excellent job of playing his role while still showing scouts his significant talent. He brought great energy defensively every time he stepped on the court, putting strong pressure on the ball, getting in passing lanes consistently, and then igniting the break with his tremendous speed. He's a blur in the open floor who can also play above the rim with a head of steam; the game obviously comes very naturally for Chandler, especially in terms of handling the ball and facilitating for teammates.
Chandler shows terrific timing and pace operating out of pick-and-roll, using both sides of the floor and impressive vision threading the needle with well-timed bounce passes on the move. He's also a capable shooter with his feet set or off the dribble (9-of-23, 39%), and has soft touch on his floater, an important shot to have in his arsenal at his size. Listed at 6-1, NBA scouts say Chandler's lack of height and bulk are their primary concerns at the moment, as he struggled at times to finish around the basket in traffic in the half court and can get a little turnover-prone when faced with length. Still, guards with Chandler's speed who can create for themselves and others, shoot with range and are willing defenders remain in high demand in today's NBA, and he'll have every opportunity to prove himself on a talented Tennessee team in the loaded SEC.
