Like Jabari Smith yesterday, Kennedy Chander announces his registration for the 2022 Draft after only one season in the NCAA. It was through his Twitter account that the leader of the Tennessee Volunteers made it known, mentioning in particular his intention to hire an agent, proof of his certainty in this choice.
Tennessee native Kennedy Chandler shone in his only season in Knoxville, posting 13.9 points, 4.7 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game. In his wake, the Vols won the SEC conference tournament, after which he was voted MVP, before falling in the second round of the NCAA tournament, against the Michigan team.
On a personal note, the young point guard was rewarded with selection to the All-SEC Freshman Team, which recognizes the best freshman players in the SEC conference, as well as an All-SEC Team.
ESPN announces that TyTy Washington Jr. has also decided to take the plunge. Among the best creators of the vintage, he averaged 12.5 points, 3.9 assists and 1.2 interceptions for the Wildcats.
Unfortunately slowed down by a sprained ankle since January, he explains that he has not yet fully recovered, which has hampered his production in the last weeks of the campaign. But with his qualities on the pick-and-roll, illustrated in particular when he broke John Wall’s university record, with 17 assists in a game, TyTy Washington Jr. is expected very high, no doubt as ” lottery pick”.
“When I was healthy, NBA teams could see that I’m a point guard who can score and create as well”he explains. “Before I got injured, they saw what a good shooter I am, able to play both with the ball in my hands, but also without the ball. »
