But, if you don't believe his "work ethic" and "want-to" have been hiped to an extreme, I guess we've been watching different TV. I think it's what makes his critics more passionate than they would be otherwise.

This is where I will agree and disagree. Tyler's work ethic has been broadcast a lot. Now, your a smart guy. Let's think about how many excellent players that Coach Williams has coached...a bunch. I don't think he is going to make up things about Tyler's work ethic that are not true. He had a kid on the 05 team, Rashad McCants, that was one of the most talented offensive players to play at UNC and you didn't hear Roy say anything about him, other than he didn't apply himself enough. You don't hear Beasley coach talking about his work ethic. Beasley has talent..a trait that will take him a long way...but until he learns to develop that work ethic he will be no more than a middle of the road NBA player. The point I'm making about Tyler is that his work ethic, as commented on by Pitino, is like few that have ever played the game. That alone will lead to a productive career and big bucks. I heard a comment from Roy that last year when he set his career high in scoring (i think agains GT), it was a Friday or Saturday game in which he scored 42 points, that Tyler was up and in the gym by 7am by himself and worked on his game for about 2 hrs.
