Seahawk’s head coach Mike Macdonald was quick to praise Lockets for everything he has done with the organization.
“You think of Tyler and his career and arc in his career, and to have that mentality, man, just humility, put the team first, what else can you ask for?” Said MacDonald. “And he loves ball. That guy comes out here. He has done it for so long, but enthusiasm, attitude, productivity, man. The city knows Tyler, shooting, better than I do, but getting to know him this year has been a blessing for me personally. I mean this guy, he is just one of one.
