Tyler is a self made player who has spent countless hours in the gym to develop his game. Despite being labeled as too small or not athletic enough, Tyler outshines his competition because of his work ethic and his skill set. However, what makes a special young man is how he carries himself off the court. He is respectful and appreciative of all the experiences and opportunities that he has been a part of.
