The Creator gets busy again with 28pts, 7rbs, 2ast, but Canada blows a 13pts 1st qtr lead and lost to Lithuania 82-76. Canada was basically a two man team again with Ennis and Lyles doing the heavy pulling.
If Canada had Wiggy, then imho I think they would have only lost about one game so far. Ennis and Lyles have kept them competitive in all of these games without much help, and it's hard to imagine if Wiggy was playing that the outcome wouldn't be different.so your telling me he knows how to score?? Cant believe Canadas results in this tourney, but then again...completely different team and players then last yrs. Nice to see Tyler's #'s, esp those ppg #s!
I'm happy he's playing. He is sharpening his sheeit against some of the best player, at his age, in the world. He is cutting his teeth and gaining confidence. I like it.Given the fact that Tyler is our only PG, should we even be happy that he is playing for Canada? Is this just unneeded mileage? I'm assuming he logs tons of minutes this season...
Yes. Great competition and confidence builder for him as he gets ready to kick a$$ this season. He's 19, the mileage should be fine and steady for his 2-3 years at SU.Given the fact that Tyler is our only PG, should we even be happy that he is playing for Canada? Is this just unneeded mileage?

I hope you're right, but one of my biggest gripes about JB is that he drives starters into the ground with too many regular season minutes... Essentially to just get W's... Cheating our team's bench depth and sapping starters' post season legs...Yes. Great competition and confidence builder for him as he gets ready to kick a$$ this season.

Ok, I'll give you the fact that kids do get a lot more rest during games these days, especially in the Tournament... And our depth has been great lately, e.g. Dion coming off the bench... But historically, how many times has stuff like this come up to bite us in the end, with a late season injury or tired legs?LOL. These kids are in great shape! There are like 3-4 long TV timeouts per half if they are worn out by playing 38min for 40 games over 5 months thats on them IMO. Bench depth you have a point but really only if you have an injury or play a certian style like pressing. Usually there is enough of a drop off from the 7th player on that its not that helpful getting the 8th guy big minute unless there is an injury. We are stockpiled right now with a very tallented group and we could see an actual 8.5 man rotation in meaningful games this year but who knows.
If he puts up 11 and 6 he may well be a one and done. After all, MCW was about 12 and 7.
I'd be content with 9 and 5 and a successful season, especially if he can knock down 33-35% from three, 75+% from the line, and have an assist to turnover ratio of about 2.5-to-1.
Hes not a 32 year old running back and this is not the nfl. I wouldn't worry about that.Given the fact that Tyler is our only PG, should we even be happy that he is playing for Canada? Is this just unneeded mileage? I'm assuming he logs tons of minutes this season...
If he wasn't playing basketball, he'd be playing basketballGiven the fact that Tyler is our only PG, should we even be happy that he is playing for Canada? Is this just unneeded mileage? I'm assuming he logs tons of minutes this season...

Light work for Tyler today scoring 12pts and 3ast in 21 minutes for a blowout win against Iran 95-57. Canada finally had some balance scoring all around.
not only could i drop a trip dub on Iran. I could end their nuclear program at the same time. Shame i'm not 19.I'm sure a group of people from this board could have balanced scoring against Iran. It's flipping Iran. Will any of those kids make any pro league in the world?

i dont pass.Why cut yourself short. Why not go for the quad dub?
