Chandler’s reputation has suffered from a down year with the Knicks. But who can really blame him, really. The 2013-2014 Knicks were a disaster, and only look respectable in comparison to the absolute catastrophe that was the 2014-2015 season. Tyson turned it around once he was traded back to Dallas where he won his only ring. He showed that despite being age, he can still hang above the rim and anchor a defense.
His effort with the Mavericks was enough to net him a 54 million dollar contract from the Suns. The Phoenix medical staff has proven itself to be miracle workers in the past, so have faith in Tyson’s ability to stay healthy this year. Last year in Dallas, he put up 10.3 points, 11.5 boards, and 1.2 blocks shooting 66% from the field and 72% from the line. Alex Len is his only real competition for minutes, and he’ll likely benefit from playing with playmakers Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe. Tyson doesn’t really hurt your free-throw percentage, which makes him even more valuable for a center. Expect big things from the former DPOY in 2015-16.
