I know it sounds basic, but as I mentioned several times while in college, Tyres wouldn’t always have his eyes really focused just over the rim or the box sweet spot on the backboard. Now if you watch his replays closely he is visually locked in on one spot or the other. It makes a huge difference, and was something that did not come naturally to Tyres. But, it really slows down the game for him and makes him much more effective.

LAS VEGAS — Here’s a quick rundown of Tuesday’s top performances at the NBA 2K23 Summer League, which took place at Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion:
Tyrese Martin, Atlanta Hawks
Tyrese Martin scores 21 points to help the Hawks knock off the Heat 95-88 in NBA 2K23 Summer League play.
After dribbling between his legs, Martin drove to his left, picked up his dribble and pulled up for jumper. After the shot sank into the net, Martin held out his right hand by his right knee to suggest his defender was “too small.”
Not the case. Martin just mastered his timing well enough to throw Miami Heat guard Marcus Garrett off balance. In the Hawks’ 95–88 win over Miami, Martin showed the kind of sharp decision making that partly explains why Atlanta drafted him at No. 51.
Martin finished with 21 points while shooting 9-for-14 from the field and 2-for-5 from 3 along with six rebounds. It’s not exactly clear what role Martin will have next season. But the Hawks have one roster spot open. That spot might ultimately go to Martin.

I know part of the problem is we didn't have enough offensive players to keep people honest besides Cole outside but he also looks more assertive as he seemed to defer too much on offense and his handle looks tighter. Plus maybe Cole taught him on using the hesitation dribble as I don't remember Martin using that much at UCONN.

You claim to be an “insider” and can’t even spell our players names correctly lmao. It’s Tyrese. Not Tyres.
I apologize for the auto spell typos - it is what it is and can’t be corrected in after 5 minutes. Read whatever you want into it - LOL - You should see some of spellings in the texts I get.
At any rate, read the context, you might learn something, but probably not.

Wow, we really slept on Tyrese. The Boneyard was higher on Diggins and Floyd.

The next NBA drafted player
With the NBA draft less than a week away who do you think can also get into the NBA in the future?

Urban Dictionary: gangsta
There's nothing "cool" about being a gangsta. It ain't cool to pose in front of the camera with a gun in your hand pretending to come from an environment you know nothing about. Especially if you're a White boy from the Suburbs. Has anyone ever told you that you look like a complete moron with...

Maybe saving him for the regular season opener????
I don't get it either - should let him explore other options - the only good he could get, if at all possible, is practicing against some of these guys.
Wasting AWs talents for sure
He's not expected to make the roster. Therefore, the only way they can screw him in typical Charlotte-UConn fashion is to waste his summer league career.

Tyrese with 13-4-4 on an efficient 5-8 from the field.
Josh had a really nice game off the bench too, with 11 and 9 and 3 blocks as well.
Great to see!

Watching it now on tape delay! Love being able to watch our guys throughout the summer! A little Josh Carlton to boot. One thing with the Hawks if you’re keeping a 6 ft pg his name shouldn’t be Cooper. RJ could do better
They won't both be on the roster. They have one roster spot and one two-way spot available. Etienne is on the same type of contract as Whaley, so he is likely to be in the G League, unless they really like him after summer league, in which case they can sign him to one of those two spots and Martin would likely get the other.
