[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 2035491, member: 748794"] Ty I think is a really interesting case as when TSJ was out, I thought he really stepped up and was one of the biggest reasons why we had the successes we did during that time. He was aggressive, very involved with the flow of the offense, attacking the basket and rim along with playing some very solid defense on the other end of the floor. Just an all around leader. But when TSJ came back, Ty became a lot more passive, almost like he saw himself as the 5th best option on offense, so he started giving up the ball again immediately, 30ft from the basket, never looking to score. The thing is, that's not the Ty we need. Ty is at his best when he's attacking the rim- forcing the opponent to do something about it or give him an open layup or free offensive rebound. This opens up room for everyone else, and leads to great ball movement and open lanes and shots. Aggressive Ty is a double double threat and a physical smothering defender who can kill you on the boards. And these past three games it has been great seeing him return to that mentality. He's going to be a valuable part of the postseason and one hell of an upperclassman. [/QUOTE]
