The Official Tyler Ennis Thread!

[NTB]

Guys Gerald Green is better than T-Ross IMO.

[MrMiyagi]

Me too. I tired to understand it. I tried to appreciate it. I tried to believe it, but after watching the films and his measurables, I just can't. Should have packaged 14 and 18 to pick McDermott!!

No

We will see. Mark this post!!

Fine by me.

Its funny cause that's exactly what I was saying too when we picked him

[puinha]

I'm a Syracuse fan, so I've probably seen more of Ennis than most posters here. I definitely like this pick and think he'll be a real good pro. Ennis' athleticism is underrated, partially because of the way he plays. He's very smooth, and that sometimes makes him look slower than he is. No, he'll never be confused with Zach Lavine physically, but IMO, he's legitimately an NBA-caliber athlete, not just a guy who's "good enough to get by."

Ennis is 100% a true point guard -- he looks to distribute much more than score, and he almost never turned the ball over at SU. His shooting stats weren't impressive, but his stroke was very sound, and he hit enough outside shots to make me think he'll be a good outside shooter someday. Keep in mind that he was really 100% the point guard, meaning he never played off the ball or got catch & shoot opportunities. Most guys shoot a lot better in catch & shoot situations than when they have to pull up.

Ennis is very steady on the floor, and as I said earlier, very smooth. When he drives, he usually varies his tempo (a la Nash and others) to beat his man, rather than just blowing by with pure speed. On a team with vaunted senior CJ Fair, Ennis still became the leader or at least co-leader of the team within a few games. The reason we started 25-0 was because we were invincible in close games. Now, obviously no one ALWAYS wins their close games, but Ennis' clutch play and steady, ice-cold personality were huge for us. I'm not saying that SU would've won as many close games next year if Ennis came back -- I do know what regression to the mean is -- but Ennis has the "clutch" traits that help maximize a team's chances in a close game. It just so happened that those chances went our way almost every time last year, and that part involves some luck. But there's nothing lucky about a PG who never gets rattled, always stays cool no matter the stakes, never takes bad shots, and consistently makes the right pass to an open teammate. Plus there's this:

At a minimum, I think Ennis is an immediate upgrade over Ish Smith, and a likely starter long term.

We wanted Ennis with our 20 pick. I think he will be good in the league. Good luck to him in Phoenix...

Not good.

Tyler Ennis may have been the worst first-round pick at Vegas. He shot a putrid 21.9 percent from the field and didn’t make any of his six attempts from beyond the arc. There are almost too many weaknesses to count, so I’m not even going to go there.

Should've made a trade with Toronto.

Should've made a trade with Toronto.

For what? I don't think they would give up Amir Johnson for Tyler Ennis

Perhaps not straight up but from the rumblings around that time, it sounded like they were really high on him and were pissed off to no end that we took him when we already had 1000 guards. I think we could've made trade for Amir.

Well what package do you think we could have given up with Ennis to get Amir? a future1st?

In hindsight we probably wouldn't have made the move for Amir since we were preserving cap space for LBJ but I would've sent Ennis and a future 1st for Amir.

Ok. Yeah you are probably right that we wouldn't have traded for him so we could still LeBron and another star.

What makes people think Amir Johnson is available? The dude was pretty important for Toronto and they made the playoffs as a 3 seed for the first time in well, probably their history. He is on a value contract too.

It amazes me when people think playoff teams will trade a significant piece (like this one) for scraps or their best player (like Horford).

Horford's been constantly injured for Atlanta the past couple years so people assume that they might let him go because of that and that the Suns training staff can fix him up.

Yeah I definitely agree that people may assume that.

Vice just put up a short video following Tyler at the draft and some footage of his CIA Bounce days. Thought you guys might enjoy this.

How 'bout that Nash guy offering up his fat 'empty' pad in Phnx if Ennis needed a place? That Cnuck love is strong.
