That's great for Tyler. A good NBA career and lots of money. I'd love to see him stay but that would not be good for him,

I agree with coach Cal. I don't think TU will be a star player. But I see him as a solid backup PG for 8-12 years (maybe even as a starter for 2-3 years).

Yeah, I don't see why anyone would question that. Not everyone in the league is a star. Hell, MOST guys aren't stars. But being a player in the NBA is a big, big thing that comes with a big, big paycheck, and Ulis has the physical tools and the mental tenacity to be in the league for a long, long time, being a little short notwithstanding.

Case in point, Qwiff mooris. That guy is making 8 million a year. EIGHT MILLLLLLLLION A FREAKIN' YEAR!

I really don't see his size as being a major problem. Most PGs are in the 6'1" - 6'3" range not 6'7" or 6'8". He's disruptive against ball handlers and shown he can take shots over the guards. He's quick and athletic enough to play a long time in the NBA IMO.

Im agreeing with Maysville. TU is in your grill when he is guarding you. I hated guys like that guarding me. They were just up into you and allowed no freedom of movement. He will last a long time imo. Another reason is that he is built closer to the ground and does not have to be a 40 inch jumper. Notice some of big lumbering centers in the NBA. Nazr Mohammed is a great example. Not a huge jumper, saved the knees. Played 17 seasons. Not sure if TU plays 17 seasons but I bet he gets in a decade or so and a starter on a few teams depending on the team.

He's just so much smarter, basketball wise, than almost everyone else. He very rarely makes a mistake, and he's going at full speed. That is very rare at anything, not just sports. He knows his craft.

I don't see why Tyler can't be a star in the NBA.

Skills - check
Work ethic - check
Court IQ - double check
Passing ability - check
Shooting ability - check
Defense - check

I mean, I realize his body, but I don't think it's going to stop Tyler.

I'm calling a mini magic Johnson
