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

Good comparison...hopefully Andre Miller plus a 3-point shot...

 

That's a high compliment

 

TyTy is doing ok, he is looking pretty good, but right now Nix is a better NBA player.

There are some guys that just know what they are doing and are winners. Ty is that type of player. Time will tell how much he can use his intelligence and guile at the NBA level. What I can say is he is going to make the right decision more than others and he does little things to win.

He doesn’t turn the ball over, he finds open guys, he shoots when he should and he is an underrated defender.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is on the floor at the end of close games… he also is known as a strong leader.

 

Based on what?

 

He meant NBA 2k22. While eating taco bell.

 

Right now Titty hasn't shown that he can hit the 3, he's only shooting 22% from 3 in the Summer League thus far. Also Nix has had more success generating both his own scoring and creating for others than Titty.

I think Titty has more potential defensively than Nix, but as of right now, Nix is more deserving of minutes.....but in a perfect world, you'd want someone better than either of them. Not that there is likely to be all that many minutes available.

 

Agree that Ty doesn’t shoot the three well at all so far. However he is a +5 on the floor and Nix is a -1… Ty turns the ball over a lot less.

Nix has better traditional counting stats, but it hasn’t translated in his his team plays.

Most likely Ty will be a back up long term, but he has the chance to be one of the best back up guards in the league if he improves his outside shooting.

To be clear, I don’t hate Nix, I just don’t think it translates to winning play.

 

I'd give the eye test to Washington so far. Not by a ton. Nix looks fine but IDK. Something makes me think he isn't going to be better than Ty for long.

 

The thing about Ty not turning it over though is that he's a super low usage player right now. He's not turning it over because he's not handling the ball much, not doing much. I'd be interested to see what would happen if they decided to let him play a more active role in running the offense.

I'm not invested in either player, so whoever wins out makes little difference to me. I just think that they are likely to give Nix the benefit of the doubt this season and send Ty to the G league where he can work on his 3 point shooting since it's basically "put up or shut up" time for Nix. He's either going to show he can handle the backup 1 or he's going to be dumped.

 

so titty will be a 6th man type in the mold of how bobby jackson was to the kings?

 

Tyty I think is better than Nix because he can defend laterally and being quicker and uses his long arms to get steals. Plus he talks on Defense, yelling Positive things to his Teammates.

Offensively he is very unselfish and always wants to run the system, looking to drive and pass to a open teammate.

 

At the NBA Level Tyty will be better, once he gets stronger and lose extra weight he will be even faster, his floater, passing.
His IQ and lateral defense and all around game.

Daishen Nix very sorry to say that Nix lack of work in the off-season in not losing even more weight and not slimming down even more. Makes me question if he cares at all.

Josh Christopher slimmed down by working, he looks faster and better Defensively, what is Nix excuse. Nix should've lost more weight because Point Guards are blowing past him.

 

Ty will be a rich young man in 2028..

 

You think someone will overpay for him?

 

Most definitely

 

Shut up DD, you don’t know shiii.. Nix sucks ass

 

DD's track record on players is the worst here by a long shot

 

I see TyTy as a Cameron Payne type PG as a floor and George Hill as his ceiling.

 

Regarding ty ty and nix . Ty ty is a better player , nix has a better body . Nix still looks chunky and yet he looks pretty athletic .

I think nix will get a bit ahead of him in the pecking order due to his xp . But , ty ty will be better after working on his body for a year.

for the record I’m not a huge nix fan and don’t see big potential. I do like ty ty , but his shot will have to go up because I don’t think he will be able to reliably be able to get to his spots .
