2020 NBA Draft Profiles: Tyler Bey

Tyler Bey out of Colorado is one of the draft’s best defenders. At the wing position, he shows glimpses of being a textbook 3-and-D player with an emphasis on the defensive end. But there are plenty of swing factors hanging over his head.

Height: 6’6” without shoes, 6’7” with shoes

Wingspan: 7’1.25”

Standing Reach: 8’9.5”

No Step Vertical: 37.0”

Max Vertical: 43.5”

Key Notes

Offense

  • Is at his best around the rim
  • Good dunker, spaces the floor vertically
  • Smart cutter
  • Not a good shooter at this point, but shows promise
  • Very limited offense with the ball in his hands, won’t be creating much offense for himself

Defense

  • Extremely talented defender, in fact he may be the most impressive defensive wing in the class (in my opinion)
  • Super-high IQ, almost has a defensive sixth sense.
