With the NBA Summer League tipping off, former Tennessee Volunteers point guard Kennedy Chandler set a record Tuesday night, and it wasn’t even on the basketball court.
Projected to be a first-round pick, Chandler fell to the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft. Although it was disappointing, it seems like he’s doing just fine (and landed in the perfect spot). The No. 38 overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, Chandler has signed a four-year, $7.1 million rookie deal, with $4.94 million guaranteed, which is the largest guaranteed salary for an American second-round pick, according to NBA Insider Shams Charania.
