- Thread starter kywildcatsfannumber1
- Start date
Yikes and OKC is already pretty deep at the guard position so he most likely won’t get much of an opportunity there either .
Patty Mills has been traded 3 times in 10 days
His name sounds like a female country western singer from the 1950s. I wouldn't want him on my team either if I was a GM, for that reason alone.
You've got to stand by your man.
Whenever I see Ty Ty getting tossed around the league like a ragdoll as part of trade packages, I always think of this scene and can't help but wonder what he could have become with a second year at Kentucky:
What does that have to do with anything? Lol just curious…
He’ll be lucky if he gets a year or 2 there. With SGA, Jalin Williams, Giddey, and Wallace there won’t be much of an opportunity.
He may not but wherever you catches on at, I think will get a steal. He’s still only 21. That how old MJ was entering the league. I’m not saying he’s even in the same galaxy as MJ, I’m saying he still has time to make a career for himself.

They don’t play a typical style but you’re right they already have 7 guards and 7 wings.
He needs to go to a bottom dweller with limited guards right now. The Thunder are about to be really good again.
He didn't stay due to the injuries he suffered. Got freaked out and left when he did. He was playing really well at end of year in G-League Playoffs and when he got chances with Rockets. Runs pick and roll at an elite level. Needs to get in better shape--leaner and stronger-but think he'll eventually find a place and be a good pickup for some team.
I’d like to recruit players like him every year. He was more skilled than a lot of five stars we get.
He needs to work much harder on his body than he obviously ever has. Not sure he’s going to do it. If you’re 21+, a pro athlete, and still have a body full of baby fat … you’re not putting in the work. Not sorry to say it. He doesn’t do anything good enough to be an NBA player.
Oklahoma Ciry does good with guards they have another good one with Giddy. He is an assist machine. Ty Ty will get plenty of shots. If he doesn't pick it up now with another cat playing and pulling for him he may never make it
Me too he was a good college player and if he stayed a potential UK legend. Unfortunately he missed the NIL by a year right? Or maybe we could of thrown some money to get him to stay.
I agree with you about his baby fat, but he did do one thing very well - had a better than 3:1 A/T ratio.
Just looked it up. Was 3.36, which was 38th best in the entire league.
And he also shot a very respectable .488 from 2, which isn’t surprising given his strong midrange game, even though it’s not that valued in the NBA.

A second year at UK quite likely would’ve been disappointing given his apparent disregard for conditioning. Last time I saw him he was carrying WAY too much doughy body fat to be an NBA guard.Whenever I see Ty Ty getting tossed around the league like a ragdoll as part of trade packages, I always think of this scene and can't help but wonder what he could have become with a second year at Kentucky:
Failing to stay in shape is a pitiful reason for losing an NBA career.
