Note 1: Both parents are immigrants from Mali. In his early years, Tyro Jr. also spent some time with his grandmother (or grandmother) in Mali. It was not until 2007 that the 3-year-old Tyro Jr. came to the United States.

Note 2: Father Almamy Thiero played at the University of Memphis and Duquesne; mother Marian Sy played at Oklahoma City University and was also selected by Washington's mysterious man in the 2006 WNBA Draft, but she had no experience in playing.

Note 3: His father, Tyro, played under John Calipari when he was playing at the University of Memphis. Tyro himself transferred to the University of Arkansas, where Calipari coached this season.

This season's data:

27 appearances, 27.5 minutes per game, 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds (1.8 frontcourt rebounds), 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks, 1.7 turnovers and 2.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 54.5% (5.1/9.4), three-point shooting percentage of 25.6% (0.4/1.6), and free throw shooting percentage of 68.6% (4.4/6.5).

Advantages:

Tiro is a wing player with excellent physical talent and athleticism. He is full of energy on the court, and he can also provide some help and support to the team on both offense and defense. Tyro has a super impact on the offensive end. He has a certain ability to hold the ball and can complete the attacking basket through his advantages in athletic ability and explosive power. Tyro has a very powerful style of playing and is very good at using his body. He can often complete wonderful dunks, and he can also maintain balance and complete scores after the confrontation. Tyro's ability to make fouls is also worthy of recognition, and his average free throws per game is also quite good.

Tiro's personal defensive ability is also very outstanding. He has excellent ability to compete for rebounds in front and back courts. His rebound awareness and sense of position are quite good, and he can also provide some support in this regard. Tyro has a certain ability to protect the frame. His defense coverage is large and he is good at using his body to threaten his opponent. His defense is extremely aggressive and his defensive prediction ability is also quite good. He can judge the opponent's ball path and complete steals. His average steal count is also worthy of recognition. Tyro's footsteps and movement speed and defensive focus are quite good. He can also switch to players from multiple positions, and he has a very comprehensive role in the defensive end.

Tiro is full of energy on the court, his spiritual attributes are very good, and he can also infect his teammates through his performance.

Disadvantage:

Tiro's biggest problem is his shooting ability. His three-point shooting percentage is not ideal, and he is not very brave to take action. Judging from the actual situation, even when he is in a completely open position, his shooting is very low, which also leads to his inability to open up space on the offensive end, which will seriously drag down the team's offense. Tyro has played in the NCAA for three seasons, and his three-point shooting percentage is still terrible, which also shows that his room for improvement in this regard may be relatively limited. Although Tyro has a strong impact, he still has a lot of room for improvement in his dribbling ability and basic skills. If Tyro wants to play a more important role on the offensive end, he must do a better job in this regard.

not only has poor shooting ability, but also Tyro's ability in passing is very limited. He lacks a basic view of the overall situation and does not have the ability to provide more support to the team in this regard. With poor shooting ability and limited passing ability, Tyro may really become a potential black hole on the offensive end when he arrives in the NBA.

Expected market:

Tiro's current draft market is still good. With his good performance this season, Tiro's draft market is also improving. Judging from the current situation, Tyro also has a good chance of being selected in the early stage of the second round, and his draft market still has a little room for improvement. If Tyro can perform better in the next trial sessions of each team, his draft market will have room for further improvement, and he even has the opportunity to launch an attack on a first-round signing.

Personal prediction:

Personally believe that Tyro is a very distinctive player. His shortcomings in some aspects are indeed very obvious, but his advantages on the defensive end and his advantages in athletic ability are also worthy of recognition. Tyro may not be able to become a qualified starter, but he also has a chance to become a good rotation player. His defense and impact can help him attract a lot of attention. Although Tyro's outside shooting stability is seriously insufficient, his shooting movements and mechanisms seem to be not that bad. If Tyro can slightly improve his confidence in outside shooting, his value will also be greatly improved. When he arrived at the NBA arena, under the stricter tactical system, his shortcomings may be improved or downplayed.

Target teams:

Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets

The teams that need Tyro should be a team with certain competitiveness. Among these teams, there should be more players who can make outside shooting. Tyro does not need to help the team open up more space on the offensive end, and his ability on the defensive end can provide the team with a lot of help and support. In this way, a team like the Cavaliers who are very disappointed in the playoffs this season and have considerable problems with the outside defense may become Tyro's potential next home.
