Final Analysis
I saw the potential and upside in Tyrese when he played for the Sacramento Kings, but he has taken his play to another level since being traded to the Pacers. He's an unselfish player who's not afraid to take the reins of leadership. He wants to win and be a part of turning around a franchise.
He's a two-way player who can play both guard positions and doesn't need the ball to be effective. He can score and facilitate equally. His shooting mechanics isn't textbook, but he makes his shots more often than not, which is what matters. He's a great passer with excellent court vision.
This is one is a bit tricky because I've seen a critique on him that he doesn't create separation from the defender as a ball handler. Now, while I don't see him beat people with crossovers, I have seen him get by people with his first step.
Coming off an all-star season, the scary part is there's more to come from Tyrese. He has the drive to develop as a player, and he will continue to add to his accomplishments.
