Top 5 point guards from NCAA eligible for the 2022 NBA Draft

#4 NCAA Point Guard in the 2022 NBA Draft: Kennedy Chandler - Tennessee

After a disappointing end to his NCAA career, Kennedy Chandler will aim to be a top point guard.

Kennedy Chandler enters the draft after having a spectacular season for the Tennessee Volunteers.

The end of his NCAA tournament run was emotional, but that may work in his favor when teams are evaluating him. A player with passion is something that can help build a culture, and Kennedy Chandler has passion.

Chandler is a leader and an athlete who would be an excellent pick for a team in need of a point guard.

However, his smaller build does pose a risk.

While a six-foot-one point guard is not unheard of in the NBA, Kennedy Chandler is also quite light. He is also not strong enough of a free-throw shooter to rely on drawing fouls.

Think of a smaller, less-refined Ja Morant with a slightly lower ceiling due to his height.

Building around Kennedy Chandler may be difficult, but there are several reasons for a team to take a chance on him.
