I know several people who claim that Tyrus was one of the harder working individuals they've ever known. In high school, he was under 6' as a freshman and couldn't even make the team. Grew to 6'10 and played with the most intensity that I've seen from a guy at LSU since Shaq.
Just b/c you play hard, doesn't mean you work hard.
At no point in his nba career did he better himself. He was the same hustle guy that could jump. Hard work off the court might have helped him develop a better jump shot, maybe put on a little weight so he could actually guard an opposing PF.
David West couldn't shoot when he came in the league, but he worked hard at it.
Taj Gibson seemed pretty worthless outside of his hustle, but he worked hard and can hit an open jumper now.
Dajuan Blair is still in the league and he's like 6'5". There's tons of hustle guys still in the league, it's just that those guys are working hard on and off the court.
I don't know Tyrus, and i don't konw what he did in the offseason. If he did work on his game and still failed, then he just isn't talented enough to play in the NBA, but I doubt that.

Dude put in a lot of work to grown from 6' to 6'10" in just a few years.

The guy's point is how do you know he didn't work hard off the court and just got little results/improvement. Shaq, for a time, worked hard at shooting better free throws and improved very little. Scottie Pippen was a bad free throw shooter at one point and became a good one later. Everyone has limitations no matter how hard you work.
FWIW, I've never heard of Tyrus being lazy. I feel like thats just a "lazy" answer people like to give when they're asked why a guy didn't pan out. But start a Miles vs. Saban thread and plenty of research will be done.

...and he doesn't have an ACL in both knees too. NO EXCUSES!
