Kennedy Chandler

Welcome to the NBA, where it pays to have a short memory. When Memphis Grizzlies rookie Kennedy Chandler gets his pocket picked by McKinley Wright IV bringing the ball up the floor, he sets out for revenge. Rather than concede a fastbreak layup to the Dallas Mavericks, the 38th overall pick in the draft turns on the jets, chasing Wright IV down and blocking his shot not once but twice. The Mavericks won big, but Chandler’s defensive tenacity was a bright spot for Memphis as he added two assists to his two rejections in his first nine minutes of action on October 22, 2022.
