UConn in the Summer League

[Rocktheworld]

He looks a little thinner than he was at UConn. Maybe it was suggested he drop a few pounds to get a bit quicker.

No more dining hall food and DP Dough lol

Somewhere along the way he learned how to finish at the rim.

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.

I love how his game fits the NBA. He couldn't do this at UConn because players can sit in zones, or play deep enough off their man for help. In the NBA, the game is spread out and if you hang out in a lane too long you get hit with a defensive 3 second technical. The NBA is made for transition hoops and driving lanes. NBA players will make millions shooting off of that short corner so defenders are hesitant to help. He will do well as he improves his dribbling and shooting.

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.

Tyres and Josh are easy to root for. Both good kids. CV is a smart kid, if someone gives him the opportunity of time, he would figure it out. But, with all the talent knocking on the NBA doors, time is a short lived commodity.

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.

Probably not from you. You’re correct.

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?

Couldn’t have said it better when Chief saw your tagline.

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...

Bouk better be worried about Bryce McGowens, once he gets done with rehab he needs to get to work

 

[gtcam]

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

 

[Shamon30]

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.

 

[HU5KIES]

Tyrese Martin on ESPN2 right now. Getting quite a bit of attention from the announcers after his last game. Started out with a beautiful mid-range J and a nice crossover leading to a foul a few possessions later.

Yep came here to post the same thing.. His stat line last night was worrisome

 

[M.S.G.]

Josh Carlton sighting!

 

[HU5KIES]

Midway thru 2nd and Tyrese has 11 pts, 2 assists, 1 reb, 1 stl. 4/4 shooting and 3/4 from FT line. He's getting to where he wants on drives and getting quality looks.

 

[Shamon30]

11 and 9 with 3 blocks for Carlton today. His mobility has improved to a significant degree.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

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!

 

[Edward Sargent]

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

 

[Skiblets]

Will TMart and Ettiene compete for minutes? Ettiene was a beast today

 

[weo777]

Bouk being injured might really cost him, new regime, player who was a problem, limited talent...G league

 

[Shamon30]

Free Whaley

 

[auror]

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.

 

[Dogman69]

Bryce McGowens is the truth
