Shough said that Chris Olave is the \u201cperfect combination\u201d of speed and finesse and that Tyson shares \u201cthat feel with these underneath routes and big playability\u201d with his more experienced teammate. <\/p>\n<p>Shough\u2019s expanded thoughts about what Tyson brings to the offense drove home his confidence in the rookie\u2019s ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis brother\u2019s an NBA player for the Cavs, Jaylen,\u201d Shough said. \u201cHe\u2019s <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EU-HmOxBf0o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">kind of just like<\/a> an elite hooper. Like he\u2019s just going to go; he\u2019s going to hoop regardless. Like he\u2019s going to go jump out the gym on somebody. He\u2019s going to get open in the most crazy way, but he\u2019s also kind of got this grittiness to him that I feel like not a lot of people give him credit for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One other thing that Tyson and Olave have in common is that they have both missed chunks of time with injuries over the course of their careers. Avoiding reprises of those absences will be key to making sure that their partnership with Slough blossoms to its full potential. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saints quarterback Tyler Shough got a new target in the first round of this year\u2019s draft when the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":752888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-752887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=752887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/752888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=752887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=752887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=752887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
