Commit #1 Tyler Whitney Sydney
Re: Commit #1 Tyler Whitney Sydney
Whitney-Sidney is a good-sized lead guard with extra length that makes him a more than capable two-way weapon at the point of attack. He is super skilled and possesses a tremendous feel for the game, along with quality vision and passing abilities that he relies upon in knifing up the defense with the pass on the go.
He is at his best off the bounce where he has no issues getting his defender on skates via the change of speed dribble, but has the requisite breakdown abilities off the first step. He is a sneaky athlete at the basket and is a very effective playmaker that makes others around him better.
Bringing quality quickness and instincts to the point guard position, Whitney-Sidney is a serviceable jump shooter to the perimeter that can hit with a contested hand in his face. Thanks to his size, he can play in multiple ballhandling units that might ask him to act more as a scorer rather than as a facilitator first. However, he is at his best whenever the ball is placed into his hands and displays value as an on the ball defender that can shut down an opposing unit’s best perimeter scorer.
Questions remain as to whether a travel season will begin but, either way, it is difficult to dispute the abilities of Whitney-Sidney. The 2021 class is not one that is known for great depth at the lead guard spot which is why it wouldn’t come as a surprise if another group of high-majors entered his recruitment.
Kid can pass the ball!

Tyler's season was cancelled due to Covid so I found this podcast to get to know the young man. He has an interesting story and talks about the recruiting process a bit.
