Three reasons not to worry.  He's a sophmore.  He was the 4th option last year.  He's the marked man this year.  Teams are and will continue to play him as such.  He had a mini slump last year when ACC play started and broke out of it as the season went on.  His basketball IQ is through the roof so it may not be this game or the next but he'll be back.
We've played three really guard heavy teams so we can't really take advantage of the mismatch Tyler is once ACC play rolls around.  They beat a team by 30 while playing some of the worst zone defense I have ever seen and Tyler scored 2 pts.

Once this team really figures out how to play the zone together they are going to be lights out.  We've seen glimpses of what they're capable of on D.  The offense is not anything we have to worry about and that's the first time we can say this since 2012-13.  We may have a different leading scorer for each of the first 6-7 games.  We can play the hot hand, play to different situations and last year that was not the case at all.  Tyler played out of neccessity.  We didn't have the luxury of a legitimate 9 player rotation.  There are so many moving pieces and they're still trying to figure each other out.

This team is just scratching the surface of its capabilities.  A wise man once said, "Faith without evidence".  Guess what, this is faith with evidence.  We know the sky is truly the limit here.  We just have to be patient.  I feel like we as fans are Jonathan and Martha Kent watching Clark grow up before are very eyes.
