76ers' Kennedy Chandler: Scores 16 points with four steals
Rotowire
Chandler provided 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-4 FT), five assists, two rebounds, four steals and four turnovers in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's preseason loss to the Magic.
Chandler has been playing well with some extended minutes throughout the preseason thus far, but it's tough to imagine him earning anywhere near 30 minutes a night when the regular season gets underway. At best, he could be considered a last-round flier in 16-team settings.

Chandler finished with 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Chandler has an Exhibit 10 contract with the 76ers, and Thursday's showing was decent enough to bode well for chances of making the team in some capacity. Although it still may be difficult for him to make Philadelphia's final roster, Chandler will be a candidate to join the G League's Delaware Blue Coats even if he's ultimately waived ahead of the new year.
