Chandler is not good enough

[mg0721]

Sorry to be a hater, but he just doesn't have the talent and skill to play at this level

If it were fill in the blank id answered “ morehead “

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Can’t believe Pope sticks with him. He should have redshirted.

You're not a hater. The kid is way over his head. Pope got punk'd. Will have to answer as to why he played Chandler so many minutes tonight while Perry and Noah sat.

Perry didn't play great but I don't see anything from Chandler I am blown away by how many minutes he got.

 

[HYTCHYE ISLAND]

Yep and it’s frankly ridiculous that pope plays him as much as he does! The kid plays hard but he’s just not good enough to warrant the time he’s had on the court.

Perry did play and was terrible. Noah should have got some run though

 

[W1LDCAT22]

Chandler was either tremendously overrated, or the kid is still shell shocked playing at this level.

 

[zannmann]

Where was Noah tonight. He is better than Chandler.

 

[JudgeSmells24]

He is terrible

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Our freshmen are all not up to par compared to what we are used to. Weak class.

 

[shaudyshaud]

He looks stiff out there .

 

[Kuhldaddy]

This will be the last year Pope will be forced to play freshman like Chandler and Perry. Injuries and limited time to build a roster forced his hand this year.

He was away from basketball for like 2 years or whatever it was. Probably just not ready.

 

[kywildcats4life]

He was in for defense. Especially when Davis was on fire.

We don't play defense!

 

[fatguy87]

Chandler has quality size and athleticism. He is a bit of a spaz with the ball though.

I'm not saying you're wrong but it could be a case of what we're seeing in practice is not translating to the court and Pope believes he'll soon breakthrough. That said, he had some good plays to start before getting abused, Pope stuck with him too long IMO.

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

I saw him make a few plays defensively but he seems very clumsy with the ball in his hands

 

[doc4UK]

Wonder if Noah was sick. Surely he would have got some minutes given how well he has played in the last few games. Chandler is not very good at least at this time.

He is way to nervous when he as to handle. He becomes frantic and gets tunnel vision

 

[FitchandMurray29]

His defense was overall solid tonight. His offense is just taking up space and trying to hustle for an occasional junk bucket at this point.

Gotta get Lamont and or Kerr back. We knew that before tonight and we still know it after.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

He's a freshman that hasn't played organized ball for a couple of years. Get your head out.

 

[Cat in ga]

He actually played pretty good defense. His offense was not so good. Amari played decent defense. The defense was horrible as was the offense the second half. Stupid turnovers and they shot out of their ass. Think Wagner made more threes tonight than he did all last year. It sucks but life goes on. Hope we get a shot at them in the sec tournament.

Yes, Perry was unimpressive to say the least.
