I actually believe all three will eventually make it. Tremont is such a player making and breaks down defenses, Bigby is a rim protector and defender and Naz, although has some work to do, is a big kid with some skills that need to be developed. I think all three are hungry and will do the work needed to make sure they make it and stay in the league for several years.

Reid has the best chance, I think, just because of how physically gifted he is.
what are these physical gifts? Serious question.

I watched Reid all year and saw a guy with poor ball skills, horrible balance, and little strength. Yes, he has a sweet set shot, but that’s about it.

Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely wondering.

If he wasn’t a 5*, would anyone think he’s got incredible physical gifts?

You got downvoted bc you used hyperbolic language to describe a legitimate shortcoming.

Let me try to rephrase your argument (bc I think I agree with you) . Naz is 6'10", but seemed to play like he was 6'5". He just didn't seem to have the interior presence of your typical 6'10" player (especially a 5 star player). He is a soft rebounder, an inconsistent hustler and he has weak hands.

I think even the guys that thought Naz would be lottery pick would agree with this critique.

Something just makes me think that KBW will be one them guys that will have a 10 plus year career but will be totally unnoticed.

Naz also isn't quick at all, especially on a 2nd jump to get a board. I will root for him and appreciate him coming here and hustling, but he's one of the most overrated 5 stars we've ever had at LSU. I think Trendon will be a major upgrade over Naz.
