Rated super high, so obviously this kid has some game, but 5'9"????? That is really short.

You wanna guard him?

Isaiah Thomas.

If Tyler were a few inches taller, he'd be a top 25 player.

Tyler Ulis, Shabazz Napier, Pierre Jackson, Yogi Ferrell, Angel Rodriquez, Ryan Boatright, Frank Mason III to name a few in the past few years of CBB as well

I cant believe the amount of people commenting on his height. If this were the NBA, I would understand, but like the poster above, in the college game, height doesn't matter nearly as much. The kid can obviously ball, and would be a fantastic pick-up for Prohm!

 

[rholtgraves]

He is basically Isaiah Thomas 2.0.

 

[CyArob]

He is basically Isaiah Thomas 2.0.

But better

 

[tim_redd]

But better

That's what the 2.0 means.

 

[rholtgraves]

He is extremely quick and fast as well. He also has great handles and a variety of shots that he uses to score. He has range and he shows really good body control going to the basket. If this kid was 6'2 he would be a 5 star kid.

He is basically Isaiah Thomas 2.0.

Wouldn't he be Isaiah Thomas 3.0?

He may have been rated lower 10 years ago, but advanced stats have shown that height at the guard position doesn't matter so much, and a lot of small guys have had success at the college and pro levels. Everybody wants the next Kay Felder now.

Why say this about a kid you've never seen play before?

 

[jcyclonee]

That's what the 2.0 means.

Let's hope he's not Isaiah Thomas Vista.

 

[knowlesjam]

Reel him in...want some recruiting fireworks this week-end that isn't going to generate a $225 fine from the Urbandale police...

 

[SCyclone]

Let's hope he's not Isaiah Thomas Vista.

Especially not the business version. That one sucked.

Interestingly enough, PGs end up being about an inch shorter than SGs and they have had higher defensive rebounding percentages via Kenpom. That was interesting to me.

 

[clonebb]

Does he carrry the ball like Thomas? Will Fred comment if he does?

 

[Bewilderme]

Why say this about a kid you've never seen play before?

...because I've seen his videos?

 

[baagoe]

...because I've seen his videos?

And his highlights tell you enough to definitively say that growing a few inches would bump him up nearly 100 spots?
