Imagine being 5'9 playing basketball and actually getting to play/start at Kentucky. Dude was special

[@deontegarner6043]

People need to realize him actually playing/starting at 5,9 was special

[@KatCombat]

He hit a game winner in the nba, thats wild

[@BL-93]

not flashy no unnecessary moves, solid pg

[@alexkwok9530]

Cat quick, great vision, nice shot, and no wasted dribbles to get past defenders - this guy is the real deal. If only he were a couple inches taller I could see him being a shoe-in for the NBA

[@Exile97]

+Alex Kwok even without the height i say he has a good chance, i always look at nate robinson as an example, even though nate is a straight up athletic freak

[@donovanshepard552]

+tonyjr97 yes he was amazing but now there's Isaiah Thomas (#4 on Celts) and he's not super athletic, but is also a budding and already amazing pg

[@jaymoney2202]

He made it

[@Gavinosborne.]

Played for Phoenix, Sacramento, golden state, and Chicago

[@2bizzystu868]

A few years later drafted to the league

[@theoo149]

He's actually the best point guard I've seen coming out of high school in terms of IQ and ball skills

[@Isaac-mk3wj]

You mean recently? Or just in general? cause lol

[@RESTEBAN1903]

is a dwarf !!! don´t say bullshits !

[@Isaac-mk3wj]

Enzo R. Castillo 5'9" is definitely not a dwarf lol

[@RESTEBAN1903]

Isaac Noh No ...is a "little man" ....Ok ? LOL

[@darnellkirkland784]

have you seen john wall?

[@Jonathan-gi7lc]

Head up at all times, great court vision, unselfish. A great all around PG.

[@mrcrossovermark1153]

I like how he's not trying to be fancy with his passes. He has handles but he doesnt use it to show off . He's all business when he plays unlike other ballers all they wanna do is shame their defenders.

[@Prof_Cos]

He's one of the better pure point guards at his size. Kentucky is getting a good one. I believe his game will translate well on the next level because he can facilitate well.

[@poster12boy50]

Great speed and change of direction

[@SNOOZlN]

1:50 lol hes just like... just...just go..

[@MasterTrickShot]

longest Ballislife mixtape ever but deserved

[@OneFlyMind]

Looking back at this video 2 years later and feeling proud because he got drafted :D

[@OneFlyMind]

Players that are coached under Coach Cal also love the guy so thats saying something aswell

[@Deadpool013]

He's fast, quick, can shoot off the dribble, pass, has a sick effective crossover, finishes on drives, and handles business...he's actually unguardable hot damn...

[@CBB1981]

We loved every moment of having Tyler on our team, now glad to have him on staff. Great young man!

[@andrewhampton7918]

Love ulis' game a lot.I wish nothing but the best for him in the league

[@hoopsfix]

He's nice with it!

[@HMtheWaterMan]

man... those some *MEAN* crossovers... I had to rub my ankles halfway thru the video(^;

[@jackofalltrades4572]

Those are some mean ass carries

[@tolmons8820]

JackOfAllTrades Yep, that's why they totally got called. Oh wait.. They were some years ago, completely clean now.

[@tinostarks]

JackOfAllTrades exactly.

[@RossardJames]

The boy is a beast

[@jakealvarez578]

Saw this kid play at my old highschool, wanted to see what the hype around the name "Tyler Ulis" was. Lets just say he carried his team to victory by a hefty margin. Amazing player and extremely quick

[@kjayy3924]

My favorite player!!! I love his game! I really look up to him they way he sets his teammates up and plays like a true pg.. Im watchin every UK game because of him..

[@xbenvh]

He really froze that big guy at 1:50 ......... daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn he turned around too and you can see it in his face that he was stunned ahahahahah

[@legendgamng7446]

The best mixtape I've seen on this channel so far. I'm trying to build up my handles and this guys GUUD!

[@Antbeast23]

he's fearless

[@lamarrdonald7743]

He is a true point guard in terms of his size and skill level.....the way he controls the game reminds me of Bob Cousy

[@pogi1kenobi]

I like how the beat compliments his game, just too smooth

[@sunjaypunjabi3299]

He finally getting the recognition he deserves

[@nachocheese4037]

And he got drafted

[@jsw2187]

hell yea! it's crazy that he was 5'9 in hs. played two years in Kentucky but still didn't grow at least 2 more inches. damn lol. Lil man can ball thi

[@jassnaj7443]

+mullard hello he 5 10 now

[@crazyluigi6664]

Barely!

[@jassnaj7443]

+Crazy Luigi wym

[@Zach-rj2qp]

+Crazy Luigi there isn't barely either you get drafted or not and he made it!

[@pound4pound740]

SMOOTH AND CALM

[@johnlyons5826]

THE BEST BASKETBALL VIDEO I'VE SEEN. NICE JOB. ; ,

[@erickdavis4257]

Tyler Ulis is nice man raw talent in him he's gonna be nice for Kentucky next year watch.

[@mahc4450]

Really liking that there's not so much flash behind his game spending too much time breaking down his defender and is either getting to the rim right away or finding an open man if he doesn't have the shot. Need more players like this

[@whoisniilante]

I think what I like most about his game is that he will def do at least 2 year under Coach Cal. That will be most valuable for him and his game. Having to guard 6'5" Andrew Harrison in practice everyday will def make him a better defender. A ball hawk even. I could def see Calipari putting him in the game next year and having him play D 94 feet

[@blueboy1394]

lol I swear I see you in the comment section of every video. Not tryna knock you or nothing just saying

[@whoisniilante]

Tyqui Neal I feel you pimp... where you from, if you don't mind me asking? We have the same last name.

[@whoisniilante]

Tyqui Neal And I love basketball and love talking/debating about basketball probably more than anything. Basketball & Hip-Hop.

[@blueboy1394]

lante07 I'm from new Jersey bro

[@charc_]

2022 anybody?

[@frankrivera5316]

Unstoppable!!!

[@BWall247]

True PG game huh?! I love it!

[@nWoRebel]

HE"S GOT GAME!!!! He May Not Start Next Year, But I'll Be Glad 2 See Him Play In That UK Jersey.....BIG BLUE NATION!!!!!!

[@achozenfew]

His game is colllllddddd!!

[@humblefame562]

Basketball IQ is off the charts. Assassin and pass first mentality with a silky 15 foot jumper. Can shoot the ball well enough from range and proves you don't need to be 6 foot to be in the NBA. Everyone said he wasn't ready because they don't know anything about basketball. #BBN #ToYourThingTyler

[@ajseb]

Giving hope to all of us 5'9 and under players that hard work and dedication pays off. Next up is Trae Jefferson in my opinion, would be dope that a 5'7 guard be drafted too

[@jillduke5130]

this is why Kentucky is ranked 1 in basketball

[@InspirationIsFree]

NBA skill set for sure with this kid.

[@user-sj9hl8vq5i]

And now he doing the same stuff in summer league.

[@MrFlex5]

Superb fundamentals. No flash. Very efficient player

[@MikeeLord]

I have no idea why he was a second rounder, but then again who cares? We drafted this dude and i happy.

[@MikeeLord]

I'm*

[@Youknowwhooo1]

cause he's 5'8 and sad to say the NBA doesn't measure heart

[@JuanMendez-ks3sy]

+Youknowwho 5'9*

[@ddai600ebkfbgk9]

+Juan Mendez Relax Lol

[@YEpicSkaterY]

All the commentators have said that tyler ulis is shorter than 5'9 as they have stood next to him. Just his height is a bit boosted.

[@whoisniilante]

love his game, but to the ppl saying he's gonna start next year for UK... yall crazy! There's no chance he wins starting PG duties and there's no chance Coach Cal will start Ulis and both Harrison twins. Now if he comes in and out plays Hawkins for backup minutes then thats great. But Andrew Harrison is trying to be the #1 PG drafted next year so he'll def be running the show in Lexington.

[@bigjon7143]

I agree. But Cal has hinted at the possibility of starting tyler and Andrew together. Truth is, nobody knows until we know. He also hinted at the possibility of putting towns jr. at the 3 and having all 3 7 footers in the game at once. Can u imagine that?? Craziness! Go cats!

[@whoisniilante]

Big Jon 3 7footers on the floor at once... that would be crazy because all them are very skilled and quick footed. And I'm saying that Tyler and the twins won't every be on the court at then same time, but it'll be more of John Wall and Eric Bledsoe type deal. Andrew will be the unquestioned floor general just because he is proven on the biggest stage in college hoops. I'm saying that Cal will take that experience any day with his PGs if he has the choice. And if Andrew was a freshman, I think he would still outplay Tyler for starting minutes. This is a potential solid NBA PG vs a potential solid college PG.

[@slater1ist]

If any of you remember the start of the 2014 season, the Harrisons had much trouble getting the "team" thing down in fact, i read an article stating that they were struggling so bad, their own father had to get involved with their coaching. However Ulis has always had to deal with adversity due to #1 playing Chicago ball (enuff said there) and #2 #3) his height and size. So Tyler will not have as much of a problem converting to college ball as the twins did.

[@slater1ist]

The Harrisons "returning" was another "yellow flag" for me. the only PGs to return coming from a Coach CAL camp since the Harrisons was Ryan Harrow. Most PGs more on.

[@whoisniilante]

slater1ist ryan harrow didn't 'return' he had transfered and didn't play that season. so that was his first year. But both the Harrisons needed to come back for another year to be NBA ready

[@erickdavis4257]

I love da fuck outta his hoop game real talk.

[@julius0928]

he made my eyes cramping.

[@hazehoward6049]

Lmfao! Dude froze when he got rocked at 1:51

[@XxBonzeD4Kill4xX]

This beat gets you pumped up lol

[@theshiznit709]

1:50 white boy just gave up

[@db32585]

had dude looking frozen in his shoes

[@gonzalo4658]

lmao

[@slater1ist]

People need to quit saying that Chase Adams is not gonna make it when he plays open court with Tyler Ulis and runs many open court games with him. While people praise Tyler Ulis and he's only 5'9 (and extra mega elite!). Chase Adams is mentored by Tyler Ulis and they have a good relationship so i believe this Chase kid is going places too.

[@erickdavis4257]

Tyler Ulis is and one of my favorite high school players i really pay attention to an watch cause he plays both sides on the court an has great IQ and scoring in his hoop game real talk he's gonna be a nice point guard for Kentucky University real nigga shit.

[@amirperera2851]

This kid is bonkers...if he didn't shoot I would have thought he was left handed...His future is very bright

[@GrizzlyBeatzMusic]

Dope.

[@stevies6251]

[@TheGotgame]

Good thing the Harrison twins are staying so he can develop and learn from them, looks like a good player

[@nywaves6073]

[@keepitrealisrael2311]

He is DEFINITELY official!

[@TheBalbazarus]

Tyler Ulis, i'll remember that name.

[@casho773]

Tyler isnt scared of the bigger defender. and has a Decent Push Off When driving. #UKBlue

[@jonasballislife1434]

Plays so much like Tj Ford or Mo Williams :) Both smaller guards, both very good players. Unfortunate injury for Tj Ford though.

[@charliebecknell9830]

Tyler has played great at KY. Nice young man and great game. I saw comparisons to Dunbar. If I looked up the correct player, Washington State, averaged 0.8 points. ? Tyler s assist to TO ratio is out of sight.

[@tonioplease]

Honestly I wish he was better offensively this year for Kentucky, his defense was really fucking good. If the Harrison twins end up leaving watch out for him. I don't think he'll be first round because of his size but he's going to be a damn good baller.

[@NapalmSportzCardz]

GO BIG BLUE!!!!

[@drvenhrd46]

1:51...freeze move!

[@johnlyons5826]

PUT YOUR MONEY ON KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY NOW!!!! DAMNNNN, THIS KID IS SPECIAL!

[@ivanmunoz1147]

I really like this kid That's a perfect of how to improve a guard style who's into playmaker right now In that's nice because you have to be one Gardner or Carr but a playmaker? a playmaker is always necesary :) keep going
