“Tamin Lipsey is a phenomenal all-around player. He’s a great teammate and a pass-first type of guy, but if you give him an inch he’ll attack the hoop and he will score. He’s a freak athlete who just floats when he jumps and can finish or pass out of tough situations—and his defense is spectacular.”
