Tyler Bey brings size, upside, and a former top-recruit pedigree to SIU
In the 2023-24 season at Missouri State, Tyler Bey averaged 2.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks in 18 games, showing flashes of a long, switchable guard at 6-foot-9 with defensive juice and rim protection for his position.[1][4] SIU lists him as a sophomore guard and a former 4-star prospect, which fits the profile of a high-upside transfer whose value is in length, versatility, and growth potential more than box-score volume.[1][3] If your team wants a developmental piece with real physical tools and a ceiling that could outgrow the stat line, Bey is the kind of flyer coaches love to bet on.[1][3][4]
