‘s game is built on poise and precision. He isn’t going to overwhelm you with speed or brute strength, but his smooth jumper and deceptive footwork make him a tough cover. Tyler uses the threat of his outside shot to create driving lanes, mixing in head fakes and jab steps to keep defenders off balance. He’s also a solid floor-spacer who sees the game well, finding teammates in transition and staying active on defense. With more strength and defensive reps, Tyler’s upside is clear heading into the high school season.

excels at impacting the game offensively in many ways. First, he makes plays for himself and his teammates constantly with the ball in his hands making him a threat to defenses. Throughout the weekend he hit multiple perimeter shots spotting up and creating off the dribble. When driving to the rim he has crafty ways of finishing even with contact being drawn. Tyler has a knack for making the right passes to his teammates resulting in made field goals on all three levels. Defensively, he has active hands stripping the ball out of opposing players hands and being in passing lanes. I’m looking forward to seeing what Tyler has in store for his senior season coming up.
