I'm not sure where everyone is so sure Tyler Polley won't make that jump this year? Everyone rooting against him and not believing in him. He wasn't all that bad last year actually and can make shots. Minus a lull for about 6-7 games he shot well over 40 for the year, was gold at times. I know I know he has to rebound I get that, it is a must. And defend better, although many are off on "how bad" he was he proved he can guard.
Hey I'm not saying he will make that jump I'm just amazed with those saying "I hope Akok is better", "Bouk will take his minutes eventually"....maybe he is good enough to play at the same time as these guys?
Never know.
Maybe he will, maybe he won't. But peoples' exceptions are based on the fact that he had one discernible skill last year. Spot up three. He doesn't handle well, see the court well...certainly doesn't finish well off the drive. His lack of rebounding isn't just bad, it's extraordinary.
He defended well against a select few opponents. Those threes that either weren't too quick or weren't too physical. Tweeners. The rest of the time he was ineffective.
He needs to make a lot of improvements to make a jump. That's why people are down on him compared to others.
