Tom Izzo: Michigan State basketball lands 'crafty' point guard in transfer Tyson Walker

Tyson Walker is officially a Spartan.

Michigan State basketball welcomed the Northeastern transfer Wednesday, and coach Tom Izzo gave a glowing review of his new point guard.

“In watching Tyson play, he’s a guy who can get his teammates open looks, he can get into the lane and he’s a crafty finisher because of his speed,” Izzo said in a statement. “He was named his league’s defensive player of the year and he’s got a good feel and vision for the game. He brings two years of college experience with him and we’re looking forward to having him join the Spartan Family.
