Jamaal Tinsley opinion..

And everyone forgets this guy but Tim Barnes had the best handles of any ISU player ive seen other than JT. He might have been the quickest also.

Hali is the best basketball player we've had but JT had better handles. Just like Jake Sullivan is the best shooter we ever had.

Tyrus McGee would like a word

To be clear I think Tinsley is the better ball handler. Tyrese is the better passer.

Tinsley was like a generational playground legend ball handler and Tyrese is one of the best passers we've seen in the NBA (both style/flash and effectiveness).

He was quick. Just not as quick as Tim B.

Sorry if this has already been noted. Had to look it up, but Rick Carlisle was the Pacers head coach for a portion of Tinsley's time there and an assistant during part of Fred's time as a Pacer.

I still remember Tinsley having like 21 assists in a game as a rookie. The only knock on JT really is that he wasnt much of a shooter.

He's saying Tyrus was the best shooter.

Even on "flash" Tyrese is one of the best I've ever seen like Magic, Pistol and Joker. It's not like he is just a steady take care of the ball guy like Monte was for us or a Stockton in the NBA. I think he's a better passer than Tinsley both results and style points. Other than Jokic he's the best full court passer in the world too.

Basically he gives you the Tinsley wow but with the Monte assist/TO ratio. Then his "jump pass" is a straight up statistical revolution or anomaly statistically, we'll see in a few years if there are lots of PGs doing it.

I told you I was really bummed about Tyrese's injury. And you post this. More bummed. I didn't realize he had those kind of highlights!

More than ever, I hope he makes it fully back. What a talent!

Isn't it great we can reflect back on a few of the Cyclone greats? We have been fortunate.

Who will the next great Cyclone PG be? Lipsey is a fine one for sure, right now. We only have him for 1 more year!
