Event The Case for Drafting Tyler Bey

[Rastapopoulos]

That's an ugly looking form on that jump shot. Pushes it right from his face.

There's a reason he likes to compare himself with Shawn Marion...

@Rastapopoulos How about instead of a "case for" series, you do a "versus" series with a poll.
For example, I'd be really interested in what people think of
"Which should the Blazers draft? Patrick Williams VS. Aaron Nesmith"

just a thought, you've been active. After 6 or 7 VS series polls, you could then bracket the results,
creating an s2 mock draft of sorts.

• Defensive Impact: With a +7.0 DBPM, 3.3 stocks per 36 minutes, 3.1 STL% and 4.2 BLK%, Bey’s defensive impact is simply elite on and off the ball. He even added 2.5 defensive win shares this year… Regarding rim protection, Bey is simply excellent. He rotates incredibly well, stays vertical, uses his length and bounce effectively, and has excellent instincts, anticipation, and timing. his impact as a rotating (non-big) rim protector is incredibly valuable. His ability to generate turnovers at a higher rate is also highly valuable, as Bey does not need to gamble significantly to create extra possessions for his team.
• Defending Without Fouling: Rarely getting into foul trouble, Bey never once fouled out during his junior year. He only averaged 1.9 fouls per game, and as such an impactful defender who defends multiple positions this is quite a positive trait. It helps showcases his switch-ability effectiveness and versatility… His quickness, high IQ technique, and fluidity all contribute to this.
• Defensive Rebounding: Bey does an excellent job of grabbing rebounds, both uncontested and contested. He rebounds at a rather high rate, finishing at 32.7% in 18-19 and 27.9% in 19-20. He can rebound out of his area effectively using smart positioning and his physical tools… He will provide value on the glass from the wing/stretch 4 spot, especially if he strengthens up.

That's a great idea, but YOU should do it! I'm happy to suggest pairs, though...

I would if this were actually summer. My focus is elsewhere, right now.

Lightweight!

The thing I like about Tyler is his defensive versatility. Outside of Precious, he might be the most versatile defender in this class. His experience banging inside will speed up his transition to the league imo. I think he can play immediately, even while his perimeter game is a work in progress. The Marion comp is actually a good one.

Bey has so far justified the Blazers in NOT drafting him, but I can't help feeling that his defense and athleticism will get him a job somewhere.

He's a perfect risk/reward type to sign to the second 2-way contract.

I could see him eventually working out as a 7/8 man in a rotation.
