Tennessee freshman Kennedy Chandler will enter the 2022 NBA draft, hiring an agent and forgoing his remaining college eligibility, he told ESPN’s Malika Andrews on NBA Today on Tuesday.

Chandler is a projected first-round pick, according to Givony, who ranks him at No. 17 on ESPN’s big board. The six-foot point guard averaged 13.9 PPG, 4.7 APG, 3.2 RPG, and 2.2 SPG on .464/.383/.606 shooting in 34 games (30.8 MPG) for the Volunteers, earning a spot on the All-SEC Second Team and All-Freshman team. He also led Tennessee to an SEC tournament championship and was named MVP of the tournament.
