Watched Tyler Lewis from Oak Hill play on ESPN? All I can say is WOW! Playing #2 ranked team in nation from Georgia. Kid can play w/ anyone in country. Can get to lane or rim anytime he wants to and on anyone guarding him. Best passer I’ve seen in a long time.
GREAT offensive player!!! Couldn’t guard my me. And that is not a good thing I can assure you.
Our Dudley Pantherettes took care of business and is ready to dominate the conference as usual.
Sometimes we are who we are !! I have always told my kids that you need to be at least average in everything, but you must find something you are the best. This will separate you from the group and assure some level of success in this world. Nobody can do it all but only the best or those willing to put in the work will separate from the group. Most people are satified with being average either because they don’t want to put in the work or it’s just easier. Thus, if you put in the work, then you should be rewarded when your work is put on the proper stage for viewing.
Back to Tyler Lewis – John Stockton was considered an average to below average defender but yet he is considered amongst the best of all time. Magic Johnson was considered an average defender but yet he is considered amongst the best of all time. And Pete Maravich was never considered a good defender but that is not why you watched. The bottomline is that Tyler must first do 1 thing that gets the attention of those that matter because they are not looking for the complete package at that level. He has obviously done that with his ability to move the ball, secure the ball and put the ball in the basket. If he improves defensively, then that is a credit to his desire to get better but I can assure you that at this point in his career it will not keep him from playing for State early as a freshman or nor hurt his opportunity to get paid for his basketball skill set one day – just ask John, Magic and Pete.
His coach at Oak Hill said he has put 9 point guards in the NBA. He says Tyler is a better passer than all those except Rajon Rondo now with Celtics.
I’m sure Tyler size on D will hurt him the further up the ladder he climbs but he will be adequate and have plenty of help D behind him. But he is a pleasure to watch at HS level. Hopefully, his success continues at NC State.
Is Oak Hill playing in Greensboro this year?
Oak Hill will be playing in the MLK Classic at the coliseum.
