Honeycutt and Volleyball

I talked to Sylmar High small forward Tyler Honeycutt, who committed to UCLA, about his development as a player over the last 12 months. He's been playing volleyball since ninth grade, and he said it really helped in his development as a basketball player, particulary his ability to block shots.
Yes, a small forward, but he's 6-foot-8, and is very good at reading plays and blocking shots.
"I couldn't dunk until I was in 11th grade," Honeycutt said. "I think volleyball really helped me with my timing. It made me a better shot blocker."
Honeycutt said he would play volleyball his senior season at Sylmar, but would not pursue it at UCLA.
