Sophomore guard Ty Jerome talks with AFP editor Chris Graham and reporters at UVA basketball media day.
Jerome, a 6’5″, 200-pound point guard, averaged 4.3 points per game in 2016-2017, largely backing up senior guard London Perrantes.
Jerome is expected to take on a much bigger role in 2017-2018, likely as the starter at the point.
He had a career-high 15 points in 24 minutes off the bench in the last-second loss at Villanova in January, scored 13 points in the February home loss to Duke, and had double-digit games in both UVA games at the 2017 ACC Tournament.
