ECU’s workload warrior and late-game shot-maker
In the 2017-18 season, B.J. Tyson was East Carolina’s engine, averaging 14.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while playing 36.4 minutes per game and ranking among the American’s leaders in scoring, minutes, and free-throw percentage. He’s the kind of guard coaches trust when the game gets tight: durable, veteran, and calm at the line, with a proven knack for carrying a heavy load and finishing possessions. The one caution flag is efficiency from deep, but if you want toughness, experience, and a reliable bucket-getter, Tyson absolutely makes the short list.
