Tyrell Terry, Stanford
*Stats provided as of 3/7/20
One freshman that came out of the gates firing was Stanford’s Tyrell Terry. I was quite surprised to see how quickly he made an impact and how good he has become during his first season of college basketball.
Terry, the 19 year old point guard from Minnesota, is averaging 15.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 42 percent from deep. He’s very quick and can switch gears in the blink of an eye. His elite shooting also makes him very tough to guard.
His jumper is super smooth. He doesn’t get much lift on his shot, but he has a quick release, great follow through and consistency. Terry has a lot of offensive talents at his age.
He is on the small side, being only 6’1″ tall and weighing just 160 pounds. He’ll get pushed around a bit at the next level if he decides to make that transition. Defense will also be a problem for him early on, but still, there’s a lot to like about this kid.
Terry wasn’t expected to be on any big boards or mock drafts prior to the season, but things have quickly changed. If he has a good run in the tournament, his stock will only get better, which could influence his draft decision.
If the Utah Jazz want a young point guard, Terry could be worth the development.
