no disrespect meant here...but watching these young men get stronger and work on their game..its amazing the strides they can make through the summer......thinking he will be just fine.....
 
I am not saying he isn't getting better but don't forget there is not much defense being played is the summer. AAU ball is a wide open fast paced game.
 
How does Tyler Storm compare/differ from Ryan Thorton? I rarely watch hs bball, so the only thing I know about the two is that they both have cool names and are around the same height.
 
Thornton really is a big 2-guard and has not had much experience playing in the paint or in the post.
By contrast, Storm, I believe, plays even bigger than his 6-7 height because I think he is very skilled playing (both offense and defense) in the paint.
Just look at the video above.
 
Hey, many people have told me they were able to view the Tyler Storm video just fine,
but I have been told that at least some people are not getting it and are being denied access.

Try this link directly to the video

then if you still get the page with the TV screens, click right on the screen of the one labelled "17U Championships"

Let me know if it is working for everyone, seems to work just fine for me, and I have viewed it several times.
 
T-I was able to watch it just fine. I had to wonder after the comments about Storm being soft how these same people would have felt about JC in high school. JC is naother one whoo is a great shooter but not the best jumper in the world but that doesn not mean he is soft. While Storm is a couple of inches taller then JC he may not feel the need to dunk the ball all the time but it really doesn't make him soft. He may as good or even better outside shooter then MR. He just reminds me a lot of JC who I really enjoyes in HS and have enjoyed wathcing even more at BU. I really think this young man would be a great fit for us about his junior year of college
 
I am pretty certain Tyler can dunk, but he is smart enough to know that working on his dunking gets you nowhere, since few if any players at the D-I level make a career out of dunks.

All I read is about how good he is. I worry about a guy who can barely dunk at 6'7", especially in our league. After watching both videos of him, I just don't think he can compete athletically.

I completely agree. He has zero hops. BU can and should do much better then Storm.
 
Although I agree measurables like speed and leaping ability are good tools to evaluate a player, they aren't the end all, be all in my opinion. To me things like heart, b-ball intellect and coachability are even more important. The dunk is way overrated, give me someone who can finish around the basket. Rebounding is more about positioning then leaping ability. I for one trust the BU coaching staff and if they feel he has the talent to play at BU, I certainly trust their opinion more than what I see in a few you-tube clips.
 
You are both right, and yes having confidence in the BU staff in their decision making abilities is extremely important. A few high lights are not a lot, but the most impressive part of his videos was going end to end off of a rebound and then converting a lay up.

What I did notice is that the players he was playing against were not exactly "strong" basketball players. He was having his way under the basket with guys that didnt seem to be overally physical or athletic. When Strom got to the basket he was laying baskets in but his shots were under the rim. He was not able to elevate off of one foot to put his shots at the rim. If he is to go to the basket in the Valley and off of one foot still try to lay in a basket that shot is gong to get blocked.

Granted he is a senior in high school but guys dont all of a sudden become leapers. I think of the photos we were shown of Collins and his ability to get to the rim and leap. Yes positioning and the mental part are important but athletic skills including leaping ability can not be disregarded.
