If Tre had 4 years in this system he probably looks like a much different player.



Unfortunately thats just not the case.

Doubt it... He doenst have the talent.

he has some talent and he would hopefully be to the point where he wouldn't have to think about what he's doing.


he clearly is still second guessing himself all the time out there. our old system didn't exactly develop players offensive capabilities and free thinking style of play.

But again.. this system doesn’t really work for Tre offensively

Here is his offensive rating last 3 years:
Freshman: 104.8
Soph: 115.7
JR: 112.8
SR: 96.3


JR & SR usage rate just about the same too

Let’s not Just shit on Tre all the time. He didn’t sign up to play this style of basketball.

He was an efficient offensive player his whole career until the coaching change.

If we’re giving John Brannen Grace then you better give tre some too

The ironic thing is I'm sure he did, Cronin just never committed to it in reality. No different than when he said they'd be an uptempo team every year. No doubt Cronin told his recruits that.

Everyone loves Tre just stop shooting long jumpers. And being out of control. That alone could improve the team and get us 5-6 more possessions a game. If he wants to shoot a 3 to keep them honest, do it.

This alone could turn the 2-13 Games into 3-6 games. Just more efficient. Less empty possessions.

Very late clock jumpers ok...5 seconds or less. If you put ball on ground dunk it or pass it. Put backs yes. I’ll take an efficient 8 pt 8 rebound game with limited turnovers from him

 

[cincrulz11]

if we had depth at the 4 im sure brannen would bench him when he keeps shooting midrange jumpers and 3's. they're basically live ball turnovers.

 

[cincrulz11]

keith also takes those awful long 2's almost as frequently as tre and keith is even worse at them.


i can't wait for like 3 years down the road when nobody on the team should have them as part of their game. i legit yell at the tv every time we start to pull up on one.

We took about 20 flying uncontrollable leaps at the basket. At least half of those were as good as turnovers. These refs need to be reviewed for player safety issues

Flying uncontrollable leaps at the basket though lol. Driving to the basket is a huge part of basketball, look all the way to the NBA, if you e got a lane, go for it. Get some contact, you might lose a call here and there but I’d say the offensive player is going to benefit a good deal of the time. They were missing calls on other ends, it was all around terrible reffing, but I do think there was some big calls early In Memphis’ late run that kept it from us slowing down the bleeding. I’m sure Memphis has some sort of opposite position. Either way, the refs made a million bad calls in that game, and definitely played way to big a part In it.
