Rightfully so, five-star freshman point guard Kennedy Chandler is getting most of the hype and attention entering the season. The Memphis product is set to become the primary creator for Rick Barnes, giving Tennessee their best true point guard since the Jordan Bone days.
Perhaps overshadowed a bit is Auburn transfer Justin Powell, who could fill one of Tennessee’s biggest needs from last year’s team. The Volunteers lacked shooting and a true point guard last season, which is something that they were never able to overcome. With Chandler in place along with Powell, this roster already seems much more rounded.
