Call me a homer but I think TJ is one of the best PGs in the west.
Particularly if you let him play fast with a roster that can shoot.

Childs has no shot at NBA and former coaches should have used stats to show him

Childs knows he's not going to play in the NBA.
kccougar
May 22, 4:00pm
He should know his stats hurt his chances in Europe and elsewhere
52Cougar
May 22, 4:02pm
HE reportedly had a 6 figure deal somewhere last season

If true, then it may be a good plan to leave early.
Benfica1

that's an interesting assertion, especially when stated dogmatically
SCKIN
May 22, 4:44pm
because that's how you get the best European contract.
HarlemCoug
May 22, 10:28pm
interesting. And you learned this where?
SCKIN
May 22, 11:13pm
Because he's on no one's top 100 NBA prospects lists or mock draft results
Indy Coug

I'm not questioning whether Yoeli will be in the NBA, it's fairly clear he won't
SCKIN

well duh. It is not like NBA general managers know anything
pappabear246

No NBA Combine invite, and only 2 team workouts should tell him not this year.

TJ has been playing out of position, hopefully Pope lets him play at the point and create

I don't think TJ's 3-point % was greater when he played 1

Either way he was in the 91st percentile in ppp.

TJ played a lot of PG last year.
thebruce

TJ ppp was 1.063 PPP which puts him in the 91st percentile. TJ is fine. There

Thanks. Where is a link for PPP for college?

TJ was good last year

His 2pt% was actually 55%

TJ needs to get a similar shot selection around the hoop
puntersarepeople
May 22, 4:33pm
Like Tyler had.
lightmann
May 22, 4:37pm
Tyler's shot selection was about as bad as possible for advanced analytics. He was just that good
MaxxPower
May 22, 5:18pm
He was 82nd Percentile on offense, 29th Percentile on defense last season
MwangoleCoug9

Yes, TJ's defense is limited. But my bet is his offense spikes up > 90% with

Isn't that referring to Yoeli?
thebruce
May 23, 11:23am
No. Yo has good hands. i could have explained that better.
roseyscenario
May 23, 1:47pm
1. Yoeli doesn't think he's playing in the NBA. 2. The coaches are smart enough to know that TJ
MaxxPower
May 22, 5:05pm
His logic is limited to showing how effective a player is in their role
puntersarepeople

Possibly, Yoeli needs the $.

May 22, 5:55pm
if that's true, he should come back, improve his europe stock. Get more $$$
archie

Rose wasn't very interested in PPS, thus Childs took low quality
Plato

Jake Toolson shot 44.8% from 3 and 53.7 from 2 this past year. . .

How do we know they didn't?
SUAVO

TJ is likely best PG in WCC. He's extremely efficient. Shot > 40% as a freshman

*especially by his fans
Epileptic Beagle

It's unfortunate for TJ that he has to follow in the footsteps of Marty & Tyler.
Wingnut
May 22, 10:46pm
I think he is better than Tyler
Remigius
May 22, 10:54pm
TJ is horrible.
scorpiondynamo

Tj is horrible??? 🤨

What statistic has TJ's defense in the 29th percentile? I think you are getting
BYUheaven
May 23, 12:42am
TJ’s offensive stats are misleading.
scorpiondynamo
May 23, 8:58am
TJ's offensive rating was 117.3, which is nationally 31st best of people with at least 24% of possessions used
Indy Coug

This post is impressive

did he say that prior to playing BYU? Mark is a very respectful, kind man...

Call me a homer but I think TJ is one of the best PGs in the west.
thebruce
May 23, 11:25am
Totally. I would take TJ over most of the returning PG's...
icecougar
May 23, 11:30am
I guess I'm taking it a step further and saying I think he's one of the best
thebruce
May 23, 2:24pm
Hard to see how TJ doesn't have his best year. Better shooters among teammates
roseyscenario
May 23, 2:38pm
Few says nice things about BYU because he's a class act
scorpiondynamo
May 23, 11:29pm
Stats, film, coaches, Basketball IQ, and common sense disagrees with you
MwangoleCoug9
May 23, 11:48pm
No worries brother. I'm just offering a different perspective.
scorpiondynamo
May 24, 1:26pm
And the player most worth paying to watch was TJ, by a wide margin. We have

Let's look at the Advanced stats then, shall we. TJ ranks 1701 out of the 2320

PPP is not a good Individual Defense Statistic
scorpiondynamo
May 25, 1:47pm
This defensive rating is not very good either, no offense
kimdaddy35
May 28, 11:46am
Defense is extremely hard to measure correctly by metrics
thebruce
May 28, 11:51am
I agree 100%. You have to use a bunch of metrics, the eye test
kimdaddy35
May 28, 11:59am
This is a really bad take. One you are welcomed to have, but a really bad one

I love when people spout of ideas like they are facts with nothing to back it up
BYUheaven

I love it when people self-identify
Epileptic Beagle

Opposite is true. Stats understate his play. Teammates can't shoot, causing him

Look rosey, the kid came in with expectations higher than anyone I can remember in recent history and he has
Wingnut

He had a lot of hype — which isn't fair since he was actually rated in

We can disagree on this. I really hope he has a great season coming up.

In the history of terrible posts on this board, this one ranks near the top.

Not true. Tyler did more than just one thing better than TJ...

Hest better than Tyler IMO

Ok
Wingnut

But mostly he's trashed gratuitously and constantly by our friend 52Cougar

I would be happy if he's just as good as last year.
