It's actually a testament to his desire and work ethic that he was able to put up the numbers he did this year, considering he's undersized.

I think most people are actually frustrated with the excessive media coverage of him - not because he's not good, but because some in the media have made him out to be so much more than he is. He had an excellent year and should be congratulated, but to listen to some you'd think he's the hardest working, most competitive guy to ever grace the college scene by a long shot. I just don't buy into that hype.

I think this is funny as can be. You have officials (Camron Rust) bashing, questioning other officials...all but accusing them of helping Carolina get back in the game. You have 15 people saying Tyler isn't a quality post player, yet he is the National POY and if you watch any game he played in this season, yes even the Kansas game, he is double and triple teamed in the post all game long. He is on pace, if he comes back, to become UNC's all time leading scorer. He's scored a ton more than Sean May...who may I remind you is undersized....Listed at 6'8" at UNC....http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/seanmay.asp. I think he is a pretty good NBA player. He has been plagued by injury but in his rookie season he averaged 11ppg. Do you know how many shots May blocked in his 3 season at Carolina?? 95. Do you know his career scoring average....15.8. Tyler has blocked 56...thats a difference of about .3 per game..lol. Oh and scoring, Tyler's career average is 19.8. I think he will be okay.

I think the media has made him out to be what he is. A hard working, skilled, basketball player. He doesn't have the talent of a Beasley or a Mayo, but he'll do things those pretty boys won't. I think if you ask any coach in the country who do you want to start your team....about 80% will say Tyler.
