Per Shama:
Tyson, a 6-foot-7 guard-forward, was one of the top transfers in the portal when he decided on Carolina. But he admitted to Sports Headliners recently that his confidence “definitely took a hit” with the Tar Heels. Not so far with the Gophers though, making 18 of 26 field goal attempts, including 10 of 15 three-pointers in the exhibition games.
“…He went to North Carolina and sometimes I think fit matters,” Medved told Sports Headliners. “Maybe it just wasn’t the right marriage for both parties. And you know he’s looking for another opportunity, and I think he’s a great fit for what we do.
“And he’s hungry, he’s got a chip on his shoulder. He’s a worker and…I think fans (already) have seen—you know, it’s early—kind of what he’s capable of doing. So, I think he’s poised to have a great year for us.”
How does Tyson fit with the Gophers? Medved likes players who can play multiple positions, and he labels Tyson a “sneaky good rebounder.” He also describes Tyson as “an exceptional rebounder” who moves well without the ball and has the ability to get to the basket and draw fouls.
Could he be the go-to player when the Gophers have to win late in games? Medved thinks so, but adds that his team is still figuring out roles. “I definitely know one thing. If he’s open, I feel like it’s going in.”
Go Gophers!!
