I love Chandler, but if he’s our best player, then we will be an NIT team at best. I know he’s been shooting a pretty good percentage from three-point range, but if he continues to hit the rafters with the ball, that percentage is going to drop. No way to be super accurate over a full year and shoot that high of a ball.

He has the most heart to win, if nothing else, I’ll take that, you could see he looked absolutely crushed yet furious in that press conference, I’ll take that !00% of the time.
I think about some of the plays he has made from dunks to 3s and he has easily been our most impressive at times. Not sure why he is not our primary option more.

This. Sadly he is definitely our best player right now. We're going nowhere as long as that's the case.

Yes, Chandler has definitely been our best player this year. Clearly.

But, unfortunately, that’s largely just because of how disappointing everybody else has been.

Pick the 10 high major schools of your choosing, and identify their best player, then compose a team…

Chandler wouldn’t sniff that rotation! Not even close, and I’m a huge CC fan, but I’m also honest.

I said he would be all conference as a SR and got laughed at. If he takes the same jump each of the next two years I will be wrong. He will be All American
I caught a lot of hell too for believing in Chandler and saying he should start. Just glad to see him playing great right now and stepping up to help the Cats win big games here in SEC play.

Oweh remembered how to play basketball a week before the New Year and is our biggest offensive force.

Chandler has been great though.

Garrison, Johnson, Noah and Jelavic stepped up their play too.

I would like to know how much Chandler has learned from DA and Oweh. Those guys have a put-the-team-on-your-back mentality. Chandler seems to be developing that. He is stronger and plays with no fear. It’s been fun to watch him grow.

Give him another year here.... he's primed. But not this season.

This is Oweh's team.

It all flows from there. Chandler is an indispensible part. Captain Clutch (jr.)

It's nice to have Oweh, Aberdeen and Chandler as the top 3 options in clutch time. Very nice. I don't mind the ball with the last second three for Chandler at any time. Mo D. with the key rebound even on missed free throws - are what all the little things mean when they come together to add up to a W.

In the end, it's the dogged determination to fight of this team to do whatever it takes throughout the game to win it in the end.

The second half adjustments were masterful, Chandler on Ament defensively was the final little bit of a gem to get us the win. It was part of it all, too. It wasn't much better on Ament defensively in the second half, but Colin's last defensive stop, made the shot harder on Ament, and he missed. The Vols ultimately went cold, too cold to win.

Another fabulous second half performance, and even when the red hot Vols won that first half, we outscored them by 17 to finish our second half. 17 points better in one half than the other team's 14 points better in the first means you win the game....

It's simple math.

We're good with Chandler, I am really looking forward to seeing him come back next year and help lead the team.

Chandler is one of the few who plays hard every game and looks like he gives a damn.

As of now, Chandler is our best player.
He also made the pass at LSU and has made several defensive plays to secure some victories. I’m not saying he’s our best player but He definitely has earned his playing time.
