Ty isn't a volume scorer. He is a distributor.

5 point lead at the end of the quarter is the objective.

Tyrese's scoring game is inconsistent. Not physical enough to force the issue, and while he's a good shooter, he needs to get good looks to go off from 3.

The playmaking is always there though. Creative and smart with a deep passing bag.
He doesn't have any go to moves. He's great with space bc his moves and shot are very Kevin Martin ish.

Woah I actually love the Kevin Martin comp. That's so accurate.
Kevin Martin with elite passing ability. That is Haliburton to a tee.
Yeah the pg version of Martin. Both very unorthodox in their move set lol

I honestly hope not.

That means the pace stays lower, and Pascal post ups and iso is abundant.

Town -14
Robinson +13
The threat of offensive rebounds keeps the pacers under the basket and limits their pace. Plus on the other side Robinson protects the rim unlike towns

Myles Turner has some miles on him. He walks like a vice principal.

I'm sorry but KAT's lazy slow ass defense is killing the Knicks. Too easy for them.

I actually didn't want him on Team USA to spend last offseason working on a go to move, his left hand drives, and a couple more ball handling moves.

I expect it this offseason, but Team USA ruined his chance of it last year. Came back roughly the same, maybe a little better off ball as he played off ball on Team USA some.
Yeah, I'm sure a full off-season of working on 2-3 go two moves with a counter will put him on another level.

He's an elite passer and at his size it's hard to stop that.

Another level he can do is get a Shaun Livingston post game too.

It is hilarious to see how much better the officiating is in the ECF.

And sad that it could literally be the same refs but managed so differently.
