This discussion around Ty is nuts. Last week he was going to average a double-double and lead the team in assists. Now he’s our largest offensive liability?
Does he need a jumper? Not really. Would a midrange jumper be helpful? Yes. Will Ty be able to space the floor next year? Signs point to no, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t working on it.
Will he be able to create his own scoring opportunities through hustling and being a menace? Absolutely. And that has been Ty’s role so far in his young Illini career, and he’s damn good at it, too. Some might even say elite.
