Hey, fellow Shocker fans. Looks like I'll be able to see Tyson Etienne Monday night. Putnam Science Academy recently added a game against local prep school St. Thomas More. I'll post my humble opinion of Mr. Etienne after the game. :bball_spin:

Saw Tyson last night and he is a true leader/floor general/coach on the floor. He was directing everyone, encouraging everyone. It was obvious that it is his team. Very positive guy, very animated, talking to every guy on his team. He is well-built, and fearlessly takes the ball to the rim. He scraps for rebounds w/ the big guys, and is very high-energy. He played about 17 minutes in the first half, maybe 10-12 minutes in the second half as they controlled the game by then. Unfortunately, he reminded me of Erik Stevenson in that he has a smooth stroke, but misses a little too much. He was probably 2-10 from the field (1-3 on 3s). He had a couple of turnovers trying to feed the post, but he made 5-6 FTs and finished w/ 10 points. He and Dennis would have epic dunk contests. In summary, he reminds me of Westbrook or Donovan Mitchell. Very good defensively, not afraid of contact, and his FIRST reaction to a shot was to turn and find an opponent to box out! I wouldn't label him as strictly a PG, his leadership skills might make him the starting PG for the Shocks! BTW...PSA is 33-1 on the season, and I think they are ranked #2 in prep rankings. Their 7-footer is going to Texas Tech.Comment

I hope Stevenson finds his stroke next year and that Etienne has it and doesn’t lose it for more than a few games at a time.
Shamet and Reaves were probably two of the best, if not the best, shooters we’ve had in the Marshall era. Of course Hannah, Frankamp, FVV, Baker, Ragland (sr year at least), Kyles, Ben Smith were all very good too or at least had their moments but I think overall Shamet and Reaves were the best.
Of course even they had stretches where they couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn but at this point I don’t think Stevenson will ever be near a career ~45% 3pt guy like them. Maybe, though. They both had the benefit of being eased into action on veteran teams.

Found this online this morning. Kinda summarizes what I saw last night. Stats are not for all games, but from what's posted, looks like Tyson avgs. 16 ppg. 36% FG,68% FT,33% 3s, around 5 RB/G (half offensive), 5 ASt/PG.Comment

I hope he's a PG. We don't need more 2 guards that aren't great shooters. I can live with those numbers if he can get in the paint and make things happen though.Comment

I’m not saying next year because he will just be a Freshman. However, watch Corey Davis and you will see what Tyson Etienne will become. An all AAC player, who is 6’1 and very strong. He will be a good, crafty driver who has strength to the basket. But he can also handle it and shoot from long range. He will also have the toughness and be able to interchangeably play point when needed. It may not happen until his 2nd or 3rd year but that will be who he is.Comment

Our two guards were 73-4 last year. Winners!!!!Livin the dreamComment
