Having averaged 29 points, 13 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 4 blocks per game as a sophomore, Shelley is working to improve his perimeter offensive skills and not just rely on his superior athleticism at the high school level.
"Tyrone has an all around game," said Tucker. "His biggest weakness is his perimeter game. But he is really working hard to be more consistent from the outside."
