I was gonna mention how Tyler Ulis putting up a 13/13 game puts him in elite company, but then I looked at the list of dudes who have done that this year. I mean, most of them are really good, like LeBron and Wall and Westbrook and Harden and other dudes of that caliber. But then I see Emmanuel Mudiay and Jameer Nelson and I know that just about any PG can get those numbers if they get lucky.
Surprisingly, Tim Frazier is only on the list once.
Still, Ulis is the first rookie to do it so far this season. That doesn’t mean much since this rookie class is so garbage, but it’s still something. Only a few of these dimes are of the “crappy” variety, which is nice. He had some quality passes, and, per usual, his scoring was also quality. He’s got a nice crossover to get himself open for floaters/jumpers, which is the shot he should be taking, since he can’t finish with much consistency. Such is the life of a short NBAer. Never an easy shot, anywhere on the court.
