[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 2013683, member: 748794"] Cool. We also have the 5th most efficient offense in the nation right now and Baylor is 7th. Both great offenses. We also have the 41st ranked defense with Baylor 65th. How much better would we really be with a less offensively efficient point guard who is a worse defender, who gives us on average 6 less extra possessions a game, though gets more assists and can bring the ball up the court? Would that really make us Final 4 material? The numbers and stats just don't back this argument. I could see the point if Ty was inefficient on offense, or at least far less efficient than RayJ but that isn't what's going on. And who exactly are we replacing with RayJ if not Ty? Quincy? He's in a slump but has been terrific all season. Marcus? He's been far more efficient offensively and you'd actually increase turnover percentage with RayJ. Listen, RayJ is a very good player. But so is Ty. I just do not get why this RayJ>>>>>Ty convo gets brought up every time we lose a game, especially since the biggest reason why we've been so bad down the stretch recently is that for "reasons" unknown to everyone including the insiders, Brad is stapling Ty to the bench for less efficient and worse defensive options. And as to why some people including myself defend Ty on here, it's simply that I'm sick of people panning a really exceptional player because they aren't who they want them to be instead of enjoying what they are. Just like Brandon Paul will never be a 0 turnovers per game player, Ty won't be Steve Nash. People need to move off of it. We're a better team with Ty at the helm in my opinion and the stats back that up. Ty won't get the job done in the style that RayJ would, but he'll get it done in his own style. And Ty's style is pretty damn great. [/QUOTE]
