Tyler has speed, reliable decision-making, precise ball handling skills, and a game-winning IQ – all of the things that coaches look for in a lead guard. He rocks an efficient style of play and doesn’t waste any movements which helps him set the tempo for his Kentucky Ambition MHC squad. His tenacity and willingness on defense are also worth noting. He has the defensive instincts necessary to guard his position and disrupt when his team needs it most. A do-it-all point guard who’s more than capable of leading a team.

Bartley leads Thomas Nelson in nearly every offensive category this season and has had some high scoring games. With good size at the guard spot, Tyler is able to attack the bucket but is also a good shooter who is making 35% of his three pointers. With his ability to score well and get to the free throw line, Bartley is starting to see his name ring with some colleges this season, too.

Bartley was firing shots from near NBA range in the game I caught as he was confident to take extremely ambitions attempts but also make them pretty consistently. A talented scoring guard, I’ll be looking for Bartley to cut down on his dribbling as he matures as a player and prepares for the college level. An extremely talented offensive guard, Bartley was scoring the basketball at a high level this weekend and showed me some offensive ability that gives him potential at the college level down the road.
