Looks like he is good from deep too. Both parents were pro’s in other sports !
Article highlights first game of 2021 where he hit for 34 points and was 6 of 8 on three pointers !
6’8” tall , and right at 200 pounds entering his last year in HS .

Not finding much video on him, but here's a bit: #35 in white
He has a very euro-style game from what I see there. Shooting form even looks Dirk Nowitzki-esque

The little I know of him, certainly looks at worst a decent pick up. And there are certainly things that have the needle pointing up — athletic parents, fairly recent growth spurt and 24/7 has him ranked as a top 200 player (no composite rating/ranking). Not a great offer list but in the age of COVID that happens. And he looks like he’s at a position of need. Now let’s get a PG in this class.
Welcome Mr. Bilodeau.

The lack of offers and rankings shouldn't be a surprise. Apparently he grew 4" since anyone last saw him on a court.

I've always liked those late growth spurt kids in basketball....Most of them learned guard skills before their spurt, and those ball handling skills carry over after they've gained their extra height and increased wingspan...
If my memory is correct, A.C. Green fit that "late-spurt" profile.
GO BEAVS!!

He grew 5 inches into his jr year and made varsity that year. Mr. Jordan went on to be pretty good. I too like the idea of taking a flyer on a late bloomer  |

Was recruited as a guard out of high school and grew to be the dominating PF he is in the league now. I like the pick-up here. |

And there is Bill Walton who reportedly grew 6 inches in about 3 months.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Tyler’s career pales in comparison to MJ, AD and Walton’s careers. But looking forward to see what he can bring to Beavs.
