Trendon Watford

For those of you who don't know much about Watford.
He goes to the high school I went to for my first three years. I live like 10 minutes from the school so I have watched a good bit of him over the last 4 years. He's not a scorer. This kid is a baller. In my opinion, this kid is the best player in the class, and honestly its not even close. He's not super athletic and his lateral quickness is a little slow. He's got an incredible handle for being 6'9 and often would bring the ball up when defenses would bring pressure. This is an important distinction because on Mtn brooks team there is a small D1 point guard and a kid that is committed to Harvard for football and will most likely play basketball there too. Watford has an unbelievable IQ and plays sooo hard. He does not seem to ever take plays off. He's a solid shooter that will get better and he has shot the ball much better over the last two years. He consistently outplays players who are rated higher than him and essentially put the team on his back and dropped 38 when he had to score. This is a kid that will do everything you need him to do. If you need 12 rebounds he's got you. If you need 25 points he can do it. I'm expecting this kid to be a lottery pick. I also think he will have a much better college career than Naz Reid. Also, Watfords passing game is incredible. He passes out of the post well too. Going to love seeing him in the purple and gold
Edit: changed "Nad" to "Naz"

i noticed his passing game was top notch, also.

I think he will be a tiger (LSU one) but how confident do you feel
Posted on 4/19/19 at 9:46 pm to LSUTigers778
on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most confident, I feel about a 9.5. My brothers best friend was in my wedding and played on the team this year. Watford sent the team group text a message of the article of Wade getting reinstated. He sent "??" emoji. He knew that the JBC was not going to be televised. He said he's not going to Indiana to people around here and from what Ive heard Duke pulled the offer. He doesn't have a strong relationship with Oats. Precious Anchiuwa supposedly committed to Memphis last night. He still is 18 so you never know, but I feel confident he's an LSU tiger.
Edit: Since I cant put the emoji on here. It was basically the suprised emoji. I think he's really happy Wade was reinstated
2nd edit: I thought he was young for his grade. He is 18.

sees the floor darn well. He's a gem man. He's a guard stuck in a 6'9 body.

I figured IU was out and also Bama with the new coach, also after Duke got Hurt figured they were out but if precious really did commit that’s perfect if not it will be a battle till the end

Thanks for the info, and good evaluation.

Reminds me of PJ Washington from UK
Posted on 4/20/19 at 1:01 am to UptownnMike
No knock on Washington but Trendon has a better all-around game potential.

So the kid can dribble, shoot, AND rebound........instant upgrade from Naz......and Naz was great at times, just played too small for his actual size IMO.

obviously i'M not an insider when it comes to recruiting. I just know a lot of the kids on the basketball team at Mtn brook now. This is what I have heard. I can probably find out more after the weekend once Trendon gets back from Vegas from the Jordan Brand Classic.

didn't watch enough of PJ. I really only watched like 3 games of them. I don't feel confident of my evaluation of PJ to confirm this or deny it.

Magic Johnson type?

He handles the ball well enough to play the 3, or on the perimeter offensively but he’s going to mostly spend time at the 4 for defensive purposes. He isn’t going to run point like Simmons or magic but he averaged a little over 2 assist per game in AAU so he’s going to be a better passer and ball handler than your average 4.

We're neighbors, my ex-wife's family (we are still really close) lives in Mountain Brook and I'm off Old Leeds Rd not far from the limits. I've been watching him too since he was a freshman. It's crazy how mountain brook is always really really good at basketball, huh? Kind of like when I grew up in Louisiana and West Monroe was always good at football. Lol
Nice to meet you neighbor!
