Kentucky’s ultra-competitive floor general with elite feel and defensive edge
Tyler Ulis was a high-impact Kentucky point guard whose 2015-16 season featured 17.3 points and 7.0 assists per game, earning first-team All-American, SEC Player of the Year, and SEC Defensive Player of the Year honors. CBS Sports described him as one of the “grittiest” players in the draft, which tracks with his strengths: toughness, pressure defense, leadership, and exceptional control of the offense despite his smaller frame. He’s the kind of guard teams value for competitiveness and decision-making as much as box-score production.
