But perhaps his most underrated attribute is as a cutter & mover.

Steph has made a name for himself as a track star, and Tyus has been taking notes.

I'd like to see him expand this, because he's an exceptionally efficient guard despite a low 16% usage rate on a roster with 3 stars.

So why is he so effective at the rim then, shouldn't the defense go under the pick?

That's where his best counter is: 3-point shooting.

He's shooting 39.3% from deep, including over 47% from above the break to the left - his favourite location above the break.

Defenses have to respect the jumper.

Speaking of the PnR, 56% of his at-rim finishes come that way, with the remainder nearly all coming off turnovers.

He uses the PnR so frequently that defenses almost always assume that's what he'll be doing - but his quickness enables him to make lazy defenses pay, like in this clip.

Well to start, Tyus has a seriously deep bag of tricks, with a hefty allotment of counters - but no skill outshines his floater.

He has one of the best floaters in the association, making his shot diet from 6-10' nothing to sneeze at as well... and it's particularly nasty out of the Pick & Roll.
