Memphis Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo expressed the utmost respect for Ty Jerome’s offensive creation after Friday’s 126-110 road loss vs. the Detroit Pistons (21 points/1 rebound/3 assists/8-17 FG/3-7 3-PT/2-3 FT).

*averaging 20.1 PPG/2.6 RPG/5.4 APG/1.9 TOV/1.2 SPG/48.2% FG/55.1% 2-PT/40.5% 3-PT/87.0% FT/57.7% eFG/22.1 MPG in 12 starts*

*missed most of season with a high-grade right calf strain*

(via Memphis Grizzlies):

“I mean, Ty’s been very solid for us the whole time. He’s turned into one of the premier creators in the whole league. [He’s] able to create shots for himself and for others, and he gets the toughest assignments every night. Today, [the] Pistons were able to put a lot of length, a lot of physicality on him and they also stepped up on the pick-and-rolls to try to get the ball out of his hands. But somehow, he always finds a way.”
