Fair point.  But then again, there are numerous ways that he could enhance his profile, none of which are far fetched.
[LIST]
[*]With better offensive players around him, he might not have to do so much -- so his efficiency rating overall might improve
[*]With other shooters spacing the floor [and Tyus not having to crank up so many shots at the end of the shot clock], his three point shooting % might improve due to him having more open looks
[*]With better scorers on the floor, his assist totals might rise, and he could show more capabilities as a play maker
[*]He'd have another year to improve his ball handling and expand his offensive diversification as a dribble-drive threat
[*]He could garner publicity being the main cog of a highly rated team poised to make a deep tournament run
[/LIST]
Even if his usage / scoring / minutes go down, he could enhance his stock by fine tuning some of the rawer elements of his game [i.e., ball handling, passing, etc.] and improving his overall efficiency.

Frankly, it is criminal that he's rated below some of the other wings in this class [I'll own that opinion], but at least part of that is due to the perception that his offensive production was inflated by him having an unabashed green light.  He could change that perception by coming back, not being forced to play 40+ minutes every game, by showing improved shot selection as a function of not being forced to do too much, and by showing that he's a better shooter overall than he's shown.
