Chandler rumors
- Thread starter TheResistance
- Start date
Isn't Trilly Donovan Matt Norlander?
Also, I think he gets like 6/10 things right?
I could see Chandler going back to BYU next year.
I personally think Chandler is a key piece next year. He's not the main guy but he's a guy. He's basically a good roleplayer imo.

Chandler and Moreno I feel are the core of the team and he if goes then I think we are in some real trouble going forward. I know it’s not what we want currently but CC leaving really will raise a lot of eyebrows and definitely will be granted. Replacing this many coaches along with basically a new roster in a short period of time…….can’t say I trust they can do that and get us back to relevancy.
He's too wildly inconsistent and limited in too many ways to be a main guy right now. Could he take more of a leap, I think so. I'd love to see it.
So basically, he may stay or he may decide to go back home. Does being an insider pay well? I think I could do this after I retire for some extra cash.
I agree. Chandler is a 10-12 minute off the bench role-player guy. He has a lot of potential and still has a lot of issues. Again, I think under the right coach most of Pope's players this past season would be better.
Chandler would be an excellent 6th man guy.
Chandler and Kam are both sixth man types IMO.
No he's not Norlander, he's the Florida guy. But he gets way more than 6/10 right when he makes a pick. Notoriously bad at picking guys to UK though.
I’d want him back as 6-8 man. Can shoot sometimes but for the life of him can’t get to the rim.
I like him but hope Pope doesn't go overboard and overpay to keep him.
I think 6th man is right but the mins for that is more than 10-12.
Fine with him leaving. We need some room for big portal commits.
I don’t think there’s one player on this team that would hurt us to leave.
We barely made the tourny, it’s not like we’re coming off a final four.

10-12 minutes? He's not "THE guy" but he's better than that
I would put Kam over Chandler as the 6th man. I would even start Kam over Chandler.
Did you not watch him this year? He can only perform for that amount of time and when he plays long spurts he makes way too man terrible mistakes on defense and has terrible bad turnovers. 10-12 minutes baring on roster as a 6th man yes. Could he get more time? Yes. But he has to improve. He has a ton of potential.
He literally can only stand on the perimeter and wait for a catch and shoot
I based the 10-12 minutes based off his efficiency this past season. More than likely for our roster make up this coming year, should be like 15-25.
We have landed 0 big portal commits, so I’m not positive that number will change going forward. To this point, I’ve seen nothing that tells me otherwise atleast.
If we have a mass exodus this year and Pope can't get tier 1 and tier 2 guys, can't land stokes, we may win 5 games next year if that. It will be super ugly. Its hard to see any positivity right now. The problem is I don't think Pope can recruit over Chandler, so he needs to stay.
I could believe this is true. I could believe this is something an agent says to obtain a raise.
IMHO, you keep Chandler for his shooting and work ethic, if the price is right, but either you design an offense to free up his shooting or you bring him off the bench in relief for your 2G. And you don’t rely on him as a primary ball handler.

Well I thought he wasn’t good enough according to the fan base. Maybe we will get someone better? I haven’t seen a big portal player enter the portal yet.
Chandler is a really good spot-up shooter. I'd hate for UK to lose him due to that, but at this point he really hasn't shown a lot more than that - although to be fair, I think he has shown more ability than the typical spot-up shooter. To me Chandler is kind of a 3 & D guy without a strong "D" component. I really prefer a starting 2G that has more dynamic ability, e.g., shifty, play off the bounce, quicker release, get in the lane and finish, etc. I could certainly be wrong - and both players might make a leap in ball-handling and ability to get in the lane - but I see Williams and Chandler's roles on offense as too similar to start together UNLESS you have a PG that is a monster at getting in the lane and defenses have to collapse.
I'd like to keep him. Need good role players that are Juniors and Seniors, that is when they are most valuable.
I agree, he could be a dead eye shooter if he just hones his craft and waits for kick outs
With proper coaching Chandler could be really good.
He’s not getting coached at all here.

Find a player that can shoot on par with Chandler but plays defense like their life depended on it
Folks… time to wake up and realize that Mark Pope is a dead man walking. It’s inevitable. The assistants knew it. The players know it. I wouldn’t be shocked if we only return two or three guys. THE only reason why we’re still discussing this is because our AD is retiring in two months, doesn’t care, and is a moron. We’re not gonna have a good team next year. I will guarantee hands down we don’t make the NCAA tournament.
Kentucky basketball will be laid desolate for the next 365 days and there ain’t a damn thing any of us can do about it.

I bet he comes back. That 50/50 stuff probably not true. Don’t lose hope yet. Let’s see how the portal goes
If Chandler and Moreno are the core and not complimentary pieces, we're in deep doodoo.
I feel much the same. It certainly has all the earmarks of a sinking ship.
I have always thought we'd get 3 meaningful players back. Moreno, Chandler and Williams. Now I'm not 100% sure of that.
lol. Pope is consistent. Consistently mid.
Agree. They are not elite starter types. They are good first off the bench players. Both are too limited and dare I say it, inconsistent.
The thinking is that a quality player ahead of him should be playing at least 28 minutes, if we want a TOP TEN team. He averaged around 10 points in 27 minutes of action. To be a great team, he needs to be recruited over and play fewer minutes. 8 points in around 15 minutes sounds about right to me.
