Chandler burst onto the scene during his freshman season on Rocky Top, earning second-team All-SEC honors and being named SEC Tournament MVP. Entering the NCAA Tournament, Chandler is averaging 13.8 points, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 37.2 percent from 3-point range.
 
The Memphis native has also recorded 68 steals, which ranks third on Tennessee’s all-time single-season steals list and is the most in program history by a freshman.
