Chandler Hutchison

Hutchison was born in Mission Viejo, California in 1996 to Charles and Tanya Hutchison. The small forward starred during his last two years at Mission Viejo High School. In his junior season, Hutchison averaged 13.8 points and went all the way to the state regional quarterfinals. As a senior, he increased his output to 19.5 points per game and was named to the All-South Coast League first team. Heading into the 2014-15 college campaign, Hutchison was ranked as the No. 7 prospect in California and No. 19 small forward in the country. He received offers from several schools and eventually signed with Boise State. You can follow him on Twitter and Instagram (@cmohutchison). There isn't exactly a pipeline from Boise State to the NBA. Hutchison became just the sixth player to make his way from the Broncos to the league (with Gus Johnson and Chris Childs being the most established players in the pros). The 6-foot-7 forward was an understudy to James Webb III for his first two seasons. He averaged 6.8 points and 4.1 rebounds as sophomore, but he played just 19.8 minutes per contest. After Webb moved on (playing one season in the NBA), Hutchison took a starring role. As a junior in 2016-17, he led Boise State with 17.4 points and 7.8 rebounds. He had a streak of four straight double-doubles and compiled nine on the season. In the first round of the NIT, Hutchison scored a career-high 34 points in a win over Utah. The forward applied for the 2017 NBA Draft, but he decided to return to Boise. He had a stellar senior season and led the Mountain West with 20.0 points. In a win over San Diego State, the forward pumped in a career-high 44 points, including seven three-pointers. He also had a triple-double with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a win over Portland. While the Broncos failed to get an invite to the Big Dance, Hutchison put up 39 points in a first-round NIT loss against Washington.
