Maybe, but you could say that about alot of guys this year.

On the one hand, I think the key that unlocks the possibility of getting to the rim more in the NBA vs NCAA is high-level athleticism. On the other hand, it appears Tre (purposely) flubbed his standing reach measurement which gave him an artificially high vertical measurement.
I can't think of anyone else, at least not to the degree of Riley.
CMB, Queen, Maluach, Asa, Noa, off the top of my head.
Maybe you are saying something different than I thought?
I feel like my own process has them about the same, but the absurdity of some of the arguments made for Tre make want to be a Kon guy lol. It shouldn’t really matter, but when we’re trying to turn Tre into Shai it just makes me question Tre even more.
Like I wouldn’t really be upset with drafting Tre at 5, but I also don’t think my concerns about his rim pressure can automatically be dismissed because he drove twice and missed twice in the same play. If we’re truly believe in some of the stuff being said about him he should 1/2.
These Tre discourse feels like we’ve already drafted him and we’re finding reasons to be optimistic. It would be like pre 2024 draft me arguing against myself right after we drafted Cody.
None of them are shooters though. They are guys you are hoping to develop a shot.
Riley has a shot and shoots its very confidently.
If we draft Tre I will definitely be watching his 10 good defensive plays on repeat all off season, lol.
Yeah, I see what you mean.

Exactly... the same evaluators will use Book/SGA for Tre and then call Kon Corey Kispert AT BEST!
I think they are neck and neck. Absolutely fine with either guy. Honestly... might prefer Tre because if we take Kon every time he misses a shot I will get so much ****.

I was thinking a good comp for Ace is Mathurin. Physical, prototypical 3 that gets buckets but doesn't process as well.
I haven't actually listened to Leif so maybe I'm being unfair to him, but Locke's whole analysis demonstrates my confusion purposely. I strongly disagree with both the process and evaluation of Tre from his podcasts.....but at the end of the day we have the same outlook on him? Is this a locke watch situation and we're just hyping him up or am I just absurdly high on Tre in other areas? How can we disagree so strongly with how we evaluate Tre and end up in the same spot? Those arguments still feel super unconvincing to me so it makes me feel like I need to drop him.
