Coming from a family highly involved in sports, T. J. went to Chartiers Valley High School and played basketball for the school team under his father, Tim. He reached the captaincy in his senior year and was the leader of his team with 34.2 point, 8.2 rebound and 9.1 assists per game. This won him several recognitions, including the Associated Press’s Pennsylvania Class 3A Player of the Year. His team had 29 wins and only two lost games, and won the WPIAL championship that season.
T. J. then committed to Duquesne University, for which he played until 2012 when he transferred to the University of Arizona, as he wanted a chance to win the NCAA Championship. Meantime, T. J. helped Duquesne Dukes with 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists average in 32 games, for which he earned 2011 Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year award, and was also chosen into the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team. He improved his numbers the following year, which earned him selection into the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive Team and Third-team All-Atlantic 10. After two quite successful years at Duquesne, T. J. transfer to the University of Arizona, where he had to sit out the first season because of the NCAA transfer rules, but once back in action, T. J. was chosen into the first-team All-Pac-12 and named to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team.
He subsequently declared for the 2015 NBA Draft, but unfortunately didn’t see his name chosen by any franchise, however, he wasn’t left without engagement since the Philadelphia 76ers signed him to a three years contract worth $2.4 million, which certainly added a considerable amount to his net worth. In his first season, T. J. played in 81 games, and in a struggling team averaged 6.1 points, 4.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game. The following year, T. J.’s playing time increased, however, his numbers remained the same, though he became the first player in the history of the 76ers to record a triple-double off the bench, when he had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists against the New York Knicks, which his team won 108-92. In the current season, T. J. has played in 61 games with one start, and has averaged 6.8 points, 4.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game in 24 minutes average on the court.
When I come to his personal life, T. J. has been married to Valerie Guiliani since September 2017. His former teammate, Nik Stauskas was one of the groomsmen at the wedding ceremony.
