I read an article covering the blue white event and mentioned how impressive chandler was despite his travels and summer setback. Curious if anyone is aware what the later is referring to. Thanks
What was collin chandlers 'summer setback'?

I’m guessing it’s just basketball atrophy…being away from the game for a couple of years.
It takes a while to get back in peak physical condition to play high level collegiate basketball.

Maybe a conditioning thing?
On his 2 year mission, he was not allowed to play any basketball. Considering that, he’s doing awesome.
That is completely untrue. It was more of an availability issue as far as getting into gyms at certain locations. Some places he couldn’t at all, whereas in (I think London) he was able to get a handful of workouts in on a semi-consistent schedule. There was an interview on it a couple months back I think. He obviously couldn’t work out like a D1 player would want to, but he stayed in great physical shape and he was ready to go when he got to Lexington. All about getting the feel back. But if he’s really one of the top 3-4 best players on the team, then he must be getting back into it quick.
He forgot his shrunken head collection in Papua New Guinea
His hand received 2nd and 3rd degree burns while hitting 30 straight 3 pointers.
That makes sense, thanks for that info. Yeah I think he will get better rapidly. Kid looks very talented.
On a hilarious note my best friends mother was born on Papua New Guinea near a remote cannibal village. Her parents were missionaries at the time trying to get the local tribes to spread the good word.
