I do as a prospect. But Kennedy Chandler is clearly the better PG. The size issues does kill his stock, tho.

At 6ft he’s able to score inside similar to Chris Paul at wake forest. But CP was a floor general then and now. Kennedy looks more like a volume scorer than playmaker but he has a very high ceiling from what I gathered in my search.

I’m a huge deuce fan and wish deuce had the same offensive confidence and moves that Kennedy already has. If we are looking for a PG we could either trade the 11th pick for 2 picks if Kennedy is still on the board at one of those picks. Similar to last year when we traded back and still grabbed grimes. I can see the FO doing the same thing if that opportunity is there.

The one thing about Chandler that reminds me of Paul is the midrange jumper. His pull up jumper is something that separates him from someone like Shariffe Cooper. He can throw the lob, find cutters in the lane and kickout effectively. I'm not sure he can make the same high level reads that Paul can (probably not), but it looks like his playmaking is good enough. He's also a tough defender despite his size. Finishing at the rim looks like it could be an issue tho, and that could be exacerbated if he's on team that plays at the pace the Knicks played last year.

He's literally 1 inch shorter than Donovan Mitchell

Donovan is much stockier and has longer wingspan. Chandler has 6'5" wingspan and Mitchell has a 6'20" wingspan. Also, Mitchell is a more explosive athlete.

6'10 wingspan. and an 8'1" standing reach. Its ridiculous.

Finishing at the rim with Mitch and Randle in the paint or RJ looking to attack the paint. He’s a solid player on the right team that has pace and space.

Isiah Thomas wingspan - 6’2
Kemba Walker wingspan-6’4
Chris Paul wingspan - 6’4
Kyrie Irving wingspan - 6’4
Steph Curry wingspan - 6’4
Kennedy Chandler wingspan - 6’5

Ok, so we have two bonafide HOFers, a borderline HOFer, two All Stars and a guy who clearly doesn't belong on that list.

Yeah. Why we talking about Kemba?

This article implies that Kennedy has a wingspan of 6'7 and not 6'5. I think the difference between height and wingspan is actually more important that just overall wingspan. I think that longer arms are more deceiving in terms of ability to clog lanes and get hands on the ball. Both the 6'5 and the 6'7 (either is very good) make me more excited about him. Though at that height I still would expect a bit more athleticism to truly excel.
