He posted 14.2 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 2.7 apg and 1.6 spg as they went 13-1 on the abbreviated season. He’s a dynamic slasher that can control the tempo with his ability to get to the rim. As he improves his shooting stroke, look for his stock to grow in the class.</p> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="854897" first="Tychaun" last="Clay"] from No. 128 to No. 78</h5> <p>5-foot-10 speedy guard [player_tooltip player_id="854897" first="Tychaun" last="Clay"] made waves as a playmaker and paint-touching point guard that makes things happen in traffic.
