[2022 NBA Draft/1-29] TyTy Washington Jr., PG, Kentucky

With Tari getting the same amount of minutes as KMJ and Bari (I don't care who starts) - I would be very happy with this.

One thing I will say is that watching a game live, it was quite apparent to see that Bari is quite locked in on defense. Not sure how effective his defense is, but he definitely is focused on defense.

Alpi mostly tries hard on defense as well.

For some reason, Silas seems to think Nix is a good defender or something. Weird. Green and Nix easily the worst on defense, yet, they were both on the floor on that last play in Miami...instead of Tari and Garuba. Made no sense. Like...none. Either Silas is very actively in on the tank, or he really is a moron of epic proportions. My guess is it's the latter.

 

Rockets best point gaurd... should be starting

 

Feed him.

 

Awesome! Would be great to see extended minutes for Tyty.

 

Tyty's future is looking good. Needs to chill on the floater and improve his 3pt shot, but he's not far from being an NBA rotation player.



I think between Sengun taking over the offense and Tyty emerging as backup PG, KPJ would look a lot better on this team than he did earlier in the season. If he plays defense, he would be an excellent starter for this team.

 

Has he even made 3 floaters all season? For as hyped as that shot of his was, it's been awful thus far in the NBA.

 

Yeah he's always a foot too far from the basket and takes very difficult ones. We don't need it. If he doesn't have the angle attacking the rim, pull the ball out and get it to a player who has a better shot. I think he'll figure it out, he barely has any experience.

 

Does this make Jaygup expendable?

Does anyone else notice that TyTy is one of our more active players without the ball? He is always cutting and moving without the ball. When he does have the ball, he’s not over dribbling and dominating the ball. Quick decision making, ball movement and few mistakes/turnovers. I’m really impressed. Really good natural BBIQ.

 

I hope he stays as the backup pg for years to come. Seems like a levelheaded guy that will make for a good teammate.

 

Updated Core:

Alpi, Green, Tari, Jabari, TyTy

Next level:

KMJ, Garuba, Tate

Must get rid of:

KPJ, Nix

 

His assist to turnover ratio is all the reason I need to want him to get more minutes.

 

Time to start TyTy at Center and see what we got!

 

And yet Silas plays Nix.

 

I like some things I’ve seen from him. Tenacity on defense. Good floater. Good handles. Needs more playing time to be effective playmaker. Needs to improve 3 pt shot.

 

I don’t get his fascination with Nix. He makes terrible and careless decisions with the ball and lackadaisical on both ends at times.

 

KPJ comes back and it's right back down to 5 minutes played for TyTy. Typical.
