third fiddle. It's hard to adjust when you realize you are a role player and not the best on the floor.

It can hit your confidence.

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

52Cougar

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

1/19/18 1:15pm

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

You think Tyler is more athletic than TJ?

Dr T-bone

Tyler has better hops

warp

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

Dr T-bone

1/19/18 1:31pm

Go watch Tyler dunk, then watch TJ. Big difference

TBabyCougs

1/19/18 2:01pm

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

warp

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

Wally Murph

1/19/18 1:24pm

Way more updsite. Can shoot lots of 3s.

Plato

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
