I don't think your statement about Tyler is 'racist' and I'm not offended and I'm a white american former Div. 1 player.
However, I do disagree that Tyler has to avg. 20ppg in a season to be considered a good player. I think he will be a good pro. I think he will struggle against some of the more athletic players in the league for sure but his work ethic, his motor, his bball IQ and his talent, yes I said talent, will keep him in the league longer than Stephen Curry, IMO.
I know they play two different positions so spare me the 'your a crazy idiot' stuff! haha.
Tyler won't see has many double and triple teams in the NBA has he does now and with the right team, meaning some one with a decent passing big man like Garnett Tyler will be able to roam the baseline in a high/low set and get easy baskets and rebounds. I do think he will struggle defensively for a few years but I think he will be a successful pro who stays in the league for 8-10 years.
As for Curry, I think he is a really good college player who is going to struggle in the NBA. He is going to face bigger stronger 1's and 2's almost every night. He can't play the point at the NBA level and he is going to struggle to get to the hole with his limited ball handling skills. Reggie Miller he is not. Miller was 6-7 with long arms that made him play like he was closer to 6-10. AI he is not as well.
Also, I disagree that Curry can 'create' his own shot. He needs multiple picks (like Miller did) to get open. Curry is a 'shooter' not a 'scorer' like AI and believe me guys there is a difference.
I'm not saying Curry is not going to play in the NBA. I'm just saying he is going to struggle because he can't play the point and you can't learn how to play the point while sitting on the bench in the NBA. Saying he can 'convert' over to the point is easier said than done. Just ask Juan Dixon.
Curry will play for about 5 years in the NBA and that won't surprise me especially with the marginal talent level in the NBA these days what with all the high schoolers and 1 yr college players coming into the league.....
Obviously, this is just my opinion...and it's cool with me if you guys disagree...I won't lose any sleep at night if you do..hahaha.
Later.
