Jeremy Tyler has had a busy ten days, jumping across the country to attend workouts with multiple NBA teams. After his  Utah workout, Tyler was in Indiana working out against Marcus Morris and Vernon Macklin. He has since been to Boston, New York, Chicago, and Washington. I also missed that before Utah he worked out for the Spurs. He is already scheduled for a workout in Minnesota on the 21st, but I am sure he will add a few more stops in before the draft. Frankly, I would be surprised if Houston, OKC, and Dallas do not bring him in. Dallas will not start working out prospects until the Finals are wrapped up, but I don’t know what OKC and Houston’s excuses are.

While there were a few comments about Tyler showing his immaturity in the Knicks workout, the reports about Tyler have been extremely positive. GMs have been raving about his interviews in particular. Below is a link to his best media interview so far in my opinion. He speaks openly about his time in Japan, and answers questions about Sullinger and Sidney. The only part I found funny was when he described his role in Tokyo as mainly “defensive” and spoke about bringing “fundamental defense” to any team he joined. One block and four fouls a game do not quite jump out to me as great defensive stats . . .
