Contract Value Index (CVI)
Kennedy Chandler's one-year, $1.2M deal with the Utah Jazz earns a C+ CVI, representing solid value for a rotational point guard on a rebuilding timeline. At just over the veteran minimum, this contract carries zero financial risk while giving Utah flexibility to evaluate Chandler's development alongside their young core of Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler. The former Tennessee guard has shown flashes of NBA-caliber court vision and defensive instincts during his limited opportunities, making this a shrewd bet for a franchise prioritizing player development over immediate contention. While Chandler hasn't established himself as a reliable rotation piece yet, the short-term nature of this deal allows the Jazz to retain his rights without hampering their salary cap flexibility for future moves. This represents exactly the type of low-cost, high-upside gamble that rebuilding teams should be making — minimal downside with legitimate potential for Chandler to outperform his modest salary if his decision-making and outside shooting continue to improve.
Performance Analysis
Kennedy Chandler earns a C- Performance grade, indicating below-average production relative to other NBA point guards this season. This season, Kennedy is putting up 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game across 37 games. Kennedy's strongest area is APG at 6.5, which compares favorably to the point guard median of 4.0. The biggest area for growth is FG% at 36.8 (point guard median: 46.0). Among 93 NBA point guards graded this season, Kennedy ranks 54th. At 23, Kennedy is still developing. The production should improve as he gains experience and a larger role with the Utah Jazz.
