The Citadel’s stretch-forward spark with veteran shooting touch
Tyler Burgess is a 6-7 forward whose best calling card has been floor-spacing: in the 2018-19 season, he played 24 games, averaged 2.4 points, and knocked down 21 threes, while earlier in his Citadel career he showed rare freshman-long range by hitting 37% from deep in 2016-17. He also brought a reputation for being a steady, well-liked locker-room piece, earning academic honors and praise for his amicable presence. For a team needing a smart, low-drama shooter who understands his role, Burgess is an appealing fit; for a team needing heavy rim pressure or volume scoring, he’s more complementary than centerpiece.
