WICHITA, Kan., — Tyrin Lawrence knows Silas Demary better than most.

In addition to being his teammate this past season, Lawrence competed against Demary when the former was at Vanderbilt.

Lawrence knows Demary’s game well.

And he saw Demary elevate his play during the closing run of the season.
