He is certainly stronger (195lbs vs TJ at 170), but TJ certainly is the better defender due to his superior quickness, specifically lateral quickness.

The LMU players guarding TJ had 30-55 pounds more muscle than TJ. When he stood

You think TJ hasn't shot well because he realized he can't make the NBA?

He hasn't shot well because those guarding him are much more athletic

Was he more athletic last year?

He has peaked. His opponents have continued to progress.

LOL...so the play in college basketball got better year over year?

Because of the change in BYU's system, I think TJ's physcial liabilities

52Cougar

Physical Liabilities don't generally effect open shots

Change in offensive style can be a big deal

What about last year?

Sandy Lyle

this isn't very good reasoning. He's open on lots of his shots. O.P.E.N.

Hair loss or cut can explain dips in shooting for TJ and Zac

Someone tell Shaun Livingston you can't be skinny and hoop

Thrill

Livingston's vertical, quickness, and speed are greater than TJ's.

Livingston is 6-9 . . . TJ is what 6-3 maybe 6-4 . . . Cmon now

Tyler has better hops

that is probably true, but neither are going to rise up and dunk on someone.

Dr T-bone

Go watch Tyler dunk, then watch TJ. Big difference

Isn't Tyler substantially taller? Or just bulkier?

Plato

Tyler listed at 6'5", T.J. listed as being 6'4". Tyler is definitely bulkier.

Agree with all of that

I think BYU's system last year masked a lot of TJ's deficiences

52Cougar

too tired on O after working so hard on D

Have to agree with your observations with one exception...

Wally Murph

Way more updsite. Can shoot lots of 3s.

I see what you are saying... but Isaiah Thomas, man. Muggsy Bogues.

Careful. You'll get suspended for racism if you suggest BYU basketball players

I think the biggest adjustment has been going from The Guy his senior year to
