Why such an awful 2pt%? Does he not shoot any layups? Bad shot selection inside the arc? Etc…
Small sample size. Dude had 238 3pt attempts vs only 32 2pt attempts (about 1 per game). Also I'm not sure about the stats in that graphic, sports reference has him at 31.3% on 2s and 42.0% on 3s. Also has different numbers for rebounds and points.

Only way I see Jones as a starter is if he can somehow play the 4, which is certainly questionable at 6'6" 192lbs

He won't average 9 rpg in the B1G

Likely just plugs right into Ty's role, 6th or 7th guy, energy off the bench

Sleepers mention some young Nico player from Finland as a player Michigan had in mind if Yaxel stayed in the draft. They were just speculating that someone like that may work to fill Tys role.

Sometimes filling your roster with international players is risky business

Jones also may have some legal issues that some have speculated about, so playing next year may be in question. I'm not sure specifics of it

could we get miikka muurinen to reclass now that ty's out?

If Ty isn't a 4 then what is he? Obviously if Ty isn't a 4 then neither is Z, and you're down to Ben starting again.... and that's not going to happen.

Most of the roster outlook from the media had our starting unit: Petrovic, Boswell, Stojakovic, Ty, Tomi.

Well, it says right there in the article - look next to his name, there's a G there... just like any other website (ESPN lists him as G, sports-reference lists him at G, and so on)

I didn't foresee us starting 4 guards with Ty at PF, but like any other opinion, I realize others may have different ones

Ty most certainly would’ve started — especially over Mirkovic. Brad loves the experience.

Now… would Ty be on the floor at the end of the game? That depends on a lot of factors that would require great improvement.
Maybe to start the year but if first year players perform they can start. I mean 3 first year guys started a lot of games last year between Will, KJ and Tomi.

Wait, are we really saying Ty was going to be tasked with guarding guys like Yaxel Lendenborg, Tyler Bilodeau, and Trey Kaufman-Renn? I get that he's a good defender but those guys have a lot of size on him and know how to use it. And Brad is known to be a guy that values positional size. I think Ty would've gotten some minutes at the 4 in a small ball lineup but I think he was primarily going to get minutes at the 2-3 spelling Bos and Stoj.
