Message: [QUOTE="Son of Robert, post: 2808371, member: 7415"] Towards the end of a very tentative freshman season mostly playing behind Terry Larrier, the last third of the schedule rolled around and Tyler was beginning to find a role as a spot up 3 point shooter and this because he was putting in a lot of extra time shooting, and it was paying off. The last few games, 4 or 5 say, he was starting to put the ball on the floor and driving to the hoop, but wasn't able to finish as multiple defenders would collapse on him. He would either get fouled or get stopped, but I give him credit for trying to be aggressive to the hoop. Only other player really driving to the hoop [I]in our halfcourt offense, [/I]was Jalen Adams. Terry Larrier, although shooting some midrange shots was not attacking the rim. Tyler was not strong enough last year and struggled with his confidence, playing real hesitant and worrying about making mistakes, deferring often to other players. Tyler will put it together this year and make a real jump in his second season. Not playing behind Larrier puts him right in the thick of it and he has to step it up. I think he is plenty tough enough, he just needed to add strength, muscle, and some maturity for his game to blossom. Big part of our success this coming season. [/QUOTE]
