Reminds me of the year we trapped mercilessly whenever we could force the ball to the corner as it reached half court. And then the next year, it was almost never employed. Can't remember which reported asked him what happened to the trapping defense, and he just said 'the rest of the league figured out how to avoid it.'

True. They got the ball to the middle.
The key for Tyres is semi respectable shooting. He checks other boxes but he needs to demonstrate a minimal level of competency in that area to be considered.Tyrese Martin | UConn | SF | 6'6.75" in shoes, 215lbs, 6'8" wingspan
Game 2 Stats: 13 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal (5-9 FGs, 1-2 from three)
Martin didn't have the greatest first day of the combine but he left it all out on the floor on Tuesday and it paid off with an invite to the Combine. He's a strong, sturdy and fast wing who was exceptional rebounding the basketball, earning his way to a double-double.
Martin is an impressive athlete at his size, measuring a 39-inch max vertical jump and with his nose for the basketball, he really is an impressive rebounder for a wing.
He didn't have the best shooting performance in his two games, connecting on 2-of-7 from deep but he did connect on 43-percent of his 3.4 attempts a game this season.

Duh.
There are so many players with 2 ways and the G league is rising a bit . A 2 way deal as a free agent is the new way teams are gonna build.
Tyrese definitely developed his game while at UConn. The one recent write up that I read spoke very highly of him in all aspects with the possible exception of shooting, yet he even shot a very good percentage from outside last year.
maybe- I would love it
Williams was the SEC Player of the Year twice. A pretty good college player.
He's not built quite like Grant Williams. But he can be a very useful guy off the bench. The key for Tyrese is strength, athleticism (39 inch vertical is elite) and shooting. At his size he can handle 3-4 positions on the defensive end, which makes him really versatile and more valuable. His focus should be on defense.
