Tyrese Hunter Appreciation Thread

[VeloClone]

I was just looking at this today. Can cherrypick all sorts of things depending on when you start to look but I started at the 1/26 game against OKST after we had taken our beatdown from TCU. Figured that's when we sort of refocused even though we then had a 4-game losing streak. But in the last 9 games Tyrese is averaging 13.0 pts / 4.2 rbd / 4.2 ast on 46.8% / 29.4% / 73.1%. Very good stuff other than 3PT%, but that figure is workable for a freshman.

I figure he's sort of on that Davion Mitchell path (well actually he's way ahead of where Mitchell was as a freshman, then Mitchell had a redshirt year). But I could see second year Tyrese getting more efficient at 45% / 30% / 75% then as a junior making his case for the NBA at 50% / 35% / 75%. Will be fun to follow.

And if I may cherry pick Tyrese is .333 in his last 6 games with the 2 of 8 in the WVU beatdown (as ISU tried to shoot their way back into it) and the 0-2 in the KState loss being the only games he was under .333 so it isn't like he just got out of his mind hot in one game but is instead actually shooting relatively consistently recently.

Remember, shooting .333 from behind the arc is the same PPP as shooting .500 from 2. Definitely more than enough to keep defenses honest.

I just read a stat from the ISU daily KSU game recap that had me do a double take.
“ Hunter finished with 10 assists, giving him 139 for his young career. Over the final two regular season games, he needs eight assists to break the record set by Gary Thompkins in the 1984-85 season.
1. 146 Gary Thompkins (1984-85)
2. 143 Curtis Stinson (2003-04)
3. 139 Tyrese Hunter
4. 134 Monté Morris (2013-14), Will Blalock (2003-04)”

Seems Notable... and monitoring the next two games.

Would that be “freshman record”?

Yep.

The last 2 games. Hunter has shot 20 free throws (10 in each), incredible when you consider he shot 13 between Mizzou and home against OU. You have to go between @Tech and Home against OU to find him taking a total of 20 free throw attemps

Love the adjustment Otz made. Tyrese is mature beyond his years.

Hunter is also 5/9 from 3 over our 4 game winning streak. He's up to 28% in conference play.
