LSU floor general Tremont Waters isn’t a lock to be selected in this year’s draft, but he seems set on leaving LSU. His grit may give him a shot in the league.
Position: PG | From: LSU | Class/YOB: Sophomore |
Height: 5’11 | Weight: 170 | Wingspan: N/A |
Strengths:
- Pesky defender that can frustrate ball handlers. Excellent hands when players try to make moves on him
- NBA-level playmaker that can get into the teeth of the defense and set up teammates
- Fearless competitor that has the mental toughness to make up for a lack of height
- He is a better shooter than his numbers suggest. Has straight lift on his shot and can shoot it from NBA-range
Weaknesses:
- Miniature size makes it tough at times to pass on the inside and defense in the post
- Decision making still needs work, as he can be sped into mistakes and forced into positions where his size makes passing angles tough
- Shooting fell off last season with more defensive attention. He doesn’t have the quickest release so longer players can play off and still recover
- Below-the-rim finisher that doesn’t have the vertical to score over NBA-level defenders. He uses his floater well, which is a nice tool as he progresses
