Message: [QUOTE="Eagles20, post: 1284112, member: 3628"] Tyler is playing power forward now and doesn't post up. Why would he have to post up next year as the power forward? Coleman most likely will be starting at center and will be the post player and Tyler will continue to work as the guy who catches at about 15 feet out and work the high low with coleman like he is doing with RAK this year. It's better court spacing and having two guys post up at once doesn't give either guy much room to operate. Like I said he is comfortbale catching at around the foul line and has shown to be a good passer from there. He's also appears to be better with one or two dribbles when driving. Can you explain to me other than his size what skills he has shown to be a small forward in Syracuse's offense? I think they are both power forwards ultimately, and it seemed like JB realized this too when he started playing g as the small forward and kept him there. I'm not totally sure that both chris and Tyler with coleman in the game can all be effective based on where they are most effective. I think you need another guy who can handle the ball from the wing and be a bit of a slasher. Maybe over the summer chris or Tyler can improve in that area. I think chris has the head start in becoming more of an outside player/slasher and can continue to improve those skills. I just feel like Tyler is an undersized PF skills wise...we can agree to disagree on this. It's ok to have different opinions. You seem like a guy who just bases everything on height in determining someone's position and not how they can be most effective with your team. A good coach puts a player in a position to succeed and help his team win. If Tyler is better playing power forward in his offense and better from 15 feet in ,why would you take him out of his comfort zone next year. Continue to work on improving his skills..mid range jumper, passer, and dribble moves from the high post of baseline. It's like you would have taken carter Williams and made him something other than a pg because he was tall. You brought UNC up a ton in explaing why Tyler can't play the power forward. I didn't t watch the Super Bowl and havnt since Mcnabb left the Eagles. I did watch the replay of the waste management open tho. [/QUOTE]
