He's our future small ball stretch 5 and Jaxson replacement.

CJ
Herb
Ingram
Zion
Trey

Defense, switchability, shooting, and attacking the basket.

Now he just need to get stronger and add another 10-15lbs of muscle to that frame.

Uh he can legit play the 4 which means Jaxson should be a little concerned


Edit: He can literally be BI-Lite if he really got his handles down.

Edit #2: If we stay at 8 we take Mathurin or Sharpe 1000000000%%%

If he could legit put in 30lbs, he could become a Morris brother.

Needs to stay a wing player who CAN play small ball 4 or possibly 5 if the other team is smaller

Jax is the one who needs to get lower body weight and strength. He weighs the same as some guards. That’s why he can get boxes out so easily. Kyle Lowry made a career off his booty

He turns 22 next month, so I can't imagine that he has a lot of growth left in him, but who knows?

I see that Trey's mom posted in a response to Trey's tweet, saying that Trey was 6'4" in the summer before his senior year, but he was 6'6" by the time he got to Rice the following summer.

What about a better shooting Batum?

And he showed aggressiveness. He is far more willing to do the less desirable shite than Jax, imo.

Batum was always a good ballhandler and distributor for a bigger wing and I think Murphy is pretty tapped out in those areas.

He's older and can barely dribble at an NBA level so I think he's going to have to end up purely as a 3/D role only. He's a guy where we need to stop thinking about fixing all the bad and more spending the time to make all of his good as elite as they can be.

Herb is older but has the stuff that never develops late (dribbling, passing, playmaking) for a wing. If he can improve shooting (which is developable later) and get a bit stronger (again, which is developable later) he could become a legit overall offensive threat.

This team has length, length and length, something you can not teach! Defensively they will drive teams insane next season

Well he’s no longer a small ball 4 he’s just a 4 now. You never want him playing center though but I’ll take 6’10” in shoes at the 4 that’s can shoot the lights out of the arena. Yes please. He’s going to be big time next year.

I think this really depends on who the other team is trotting out there. He would obviously struggle against a guy like Embiid or Joker but so does everyone else.

He is the size of a PF now who can still guard SFs who can be a tremendous 3pt shooter. That is pretty valuable IMO

Maybe he will never stop growing and we’ll have a legit 7 footer in a couple of years. 8 footer by the time he’s in the thick of his prime.

Trey would have to put on a ton of weight to successfully play the 5.

He would get absolutely abused by bigs like JV rn.

Trey must still be growing because he sure didn't look
6'9" upside the other players but I'll take it.
