A former top-35 recruit, Chandler built his impact around perimeter shooting. He connected on 41 percent of his three-point attempts on a team-high volume, ranking among the top shooters in the SEC.
Chandler originally committed to play for Mark Pope at BYU before following him to Kentucky after Pope was hired in 2024. His path to college basketball also included a two-year mission before arriving on campus.
