Dude is a 6'3-6'4 guard doing a drop step under the goal, going up vertically to dunk. Good Lord that kid has some insane hops.

Would be our best scorer since Marcus Thornton and he has tremendous defensive potential.

He is a very good player. Dominated on the AAU level and he works very hard. Not sure about his lull, but maybe college?

Pretty sure Blakeney had a 45" Max Vert when they were tested at LSU. Had the highest on the team. Sampson had the 2nd highest with a 44" Max Vert.

Not sure what their no step verticals were though. Just Max Vert.

Pretty sure 39" has been reported for Tone.

A lot of Hield's development was from coaching. According to LSU info streams, he will stay the same.

Johnnys got a decent track record in developing players.


Tone has potential through the roof hope he stays another year to get it

His off elbow is way to the left on his shots like Buddy Hield's was earlier in his career. Hopefully he is able to make a slight adjustment like him also.

If Tone stays another year, he could really position himself for a big first contract in the NBA. As of now, I'm not sure it's worth it for him to move up. He should do two years just like Martin and Mickey.

If Tone comes back for another year he could really light it up, SEC POY is a very realistic aspiration for him with another offseason of work.

I suspect he's gone, though.

I was able to do that at 6'4" when in High School but it took a lot of effort. He makes it look so easy. Definitely got hops.

He is by far my favorite player on this team. I find myself just watching him at times during games. He just goes max effort at all times- from his insane hops on his jump shot to his rebounds to defense etc. You can tell he will be something special.

Why in the world would he stay 2 more years?
