29-18-71 shooting. 3.5 points, 2.7 assists and 0.7 steals in 16.2 minutes.

Tyler, what has happened with you since last season?

Initially, the thought was the shoulder injury and rehab slowed you down. Then you started having stretches where it looked like things were getting better. Then it all just fell apart again. This season has been nothing like last in terms of your playing and you are officially playing your way out of the rotation.

With the arrival of Isaiah Canaan and then the notion of starting Devin Booker at PG, Ulis is down to under 20 minutes per game of on court action. In those limited minutes he has shot horribly and not done much else to grant him floor time.

He only played 2 minutes on Sunday against Houston. Let’s hope for his sake, things start looking up because otherwise he will soon be a 3rd string or possibly even off the team.
