explosive former Vol guard still flashing NBA-caliber playmaking
In the 2025-26 season, Kennedy Chandler has shown he can still tilt a game with pace, vision, and downhill burst, averaging 15.0 points and 6.7 assists in 11 appearances for Utah while shooting 44.5% from the field[3][6]. The former Tennessee guard’s calling card remains his pressure, live-dribble creation, and competitive edge—he’s the kind of fiery lead guard who can energize a bench and push tempo. The fit question is about size and consistency, but if you need a fearless playmaker who makes others better, he’s a fun bet[7][10].
