You really believe that Perry did not start because Murray was a better defensive player?  

I sure don't

Keep up Grand....

At the beginning of the year, JJ Murray was the starter.  McCasland knew & trusted him.   He set a defensive tone to every game.   A very, very good on-ball defender for sure.  Better than Tylor, yes.

Obviously, very early on, Tylor emerged as the leading scorer.

McCasland wanted to insert Tylor into the starting lineup and relegate JJ to a bench role.

Tylor said he did not want to do that because he didn't want to mess up anything chemistry-wise.  So he continued to come off the bench, while JJ continued to start.

Now that JJ has graduated, and will no-longer be here... Tylor is a lock to start because he's already earned it.

Unfortunately in his only start, he went against one of the better defensive players in the country who had been starting for 4 years at UVA and won a national championship as a starter.

Excited to see how he develops his game even more this offseason, he’s gonna have a lot of targets on his back come conference play, especially from Andy Kennedy and UAB.
