Tyrell Terry

One of the more underrated freshman in the country during the 2019-20 season was Stanford’s Tyrell Terry. The 6’1″ guard played his way onto mock drafts and looks like he has a chance to be a first rounder if he chooses to keep his name in the draft.

Stanford has a chance to be elite next season, so I’m not so sure that he’ll stay in. Regardless, he’s someone that the Jazz should take a strong look at. His 6’1″ frame and lack of length is concerning, but he has a lot of offensive tools to succeed at the next level.

Terry averaged 14.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists as a freshman, shooting 44 percent from the floor and 41 percent from distance. His shooting stroke is silky smooth and quick, he can draw contact and finish around the basket.

He’s definitely not an NBA ready defender, but added strength and time in the league will help. His limitations on that end of the floor are not because of lack of effort. I think, over time, you will see an improvement from him in that area.

Terry could benefit from another season of college basketball, but at the same time, there’s a good chance he lands in the first round this year if he stays in. Decisions, decisions…
