St. Bonaventure's Tyler Relph Set for EuroBasket Summer League

Recent St. Bonaventure graduate Tyler Relph will participate in the EuroBasket Summer League exposure camp in New York City this weekend on the campus of Fordham University. Relph will look to become the 11th former Bonnie in the active professional ranks. Fellow 2008 graduates Michael Lee and Zarryon Fereti are also expected to make to make a bid to become professionals.

The camp tips-off on Saturday, July 19, and runs through Sunday, July 20. Rose Hill Gym is the third of four hosts for the summer league showcase that has already made its way to Chicago and Las Vegas. The final camp will begin on July 24, in Salt Lake City, Utah (July 24-26).

Relph ended his three-year stint as a Bonnie by averaging 16 points per game over the final 14 contests, highlighted by four 20-point outings and 12 games in double figures. For the season, the 6-foot-3 shooter ranked third on the club in scoring (11.9) while leading the team with 112 assists. Relph ranked sixth among the Atlantic 10 leaders in both three-point percentage (.423) and assists per game (3.9).

Oddly enough, Relph concluded his collegiate career at Rose Hill Gym with his third consecutive 20-point outing. While scoring his 20 points, Relph went a perfect 6-for-6 at the charity stripe, boosting his season average to 93.8 percent (75-80) and giving the NCAA minimum requirement of 2.5 made free throws per game. Combined with making his last 48 free throws, Relph finished the season as the NCAA leader in free throw percentage and set a St. Bonaventure single-season best.

Relph concluded his three-year stint in the Brown and White with 910 points, placing him 46th on the all-time scoring list. Nearly two-thirds of those points came via 187 three-pointers, a mark that sits fourth all-time in Bona history. Relph connected on 153-of-170 career free throw attempts, good for an even 90 percent clip, and dished out 234 assists.

The EuroBasket Summer League invites only 2007-08 graduating seniors along with other professional players who have NBDL, CBA, European or some type of professional experience.
