I agree and that’s a really interesting point. Is Trey not running into that as much because they’re running different stuff to get him the ball in different situations? Seems like priority to Zach’s senior year, most of the stuff for bigs (aside from Haarms) was post up action. I wonder how Trevion would have done in some of these actions they’re running for Trey.
Overly performed??? Whaaaat?
Wouldn’t have had him for some games last year. I think it was better for him to get that experience as a Frosh on a great team and follow the leadership from Zach and Mason.
one guy that comes to mind for me is Luke Harrangoody ( sp?) he was an undersized Center that did well in college
Correct, no one 'knew', but are you honestly shocked? Painter has been saying he's an all-conference player and doesn't tend to blow smoke.
I disagree with you on his game was the same as last year. Last year, he was uncoordinated…his body wasn’t doing what his mind was telling it to do. He basically wasn’t used to the speed of the game. In the scrimmage and in Europe, he did things he didn’t do at all last year. He brought the ball up full court after rebounds or after an inbound pass (did not do that last year). He was more composed and able to finish better around the rim than he did the previous year. He also was able to dribble from the top of the key pivot around the block, make a few fakes and then score. The game looks like it’s slowing down a bit for him and IMO if he only plays 10-15 min behind Zach and doesn’t play the 4 next to him, we are wasting his talent and I’d be afraid he’d leave elsewhere out of frustration for playing time.
Here’s an article on Painter talking about Edey and TKR:
Matt Painter's got a big idea to change Purdue's fortunes in March
Eschewing modern trends, Painter is tinkering with moving 6-foot-9 sophomore Trey Kaufman-Renn into the starting lineup for more offense.theathletic.com
Yes, I have been talking about TKR since the scrimmage last year and how good he looked. Said he could be first team if put up his early season numbers.
If he’s an AA it’s HM, maybe he sneaks on someone’s third team, imo. That’s not really a huge difference from 1st team all big ten and yes, @DwaynePurvis00 has been saying forever that he could be at that level.
That is a huge stretch but he could shoot it a little. Would like to see Trey at least be a threat next season.Link: ND’s LH stats
Called in December 21, 2022. Said he’d be an all American at Purdue.
I have compared him to Matt Howard.
No question that a person "rolling" down the lane, but actually closer to driving the ball down the lane doesn't receive the same physical problem as a stationary person posting up. Trey is great with his floater...Trevion would have to learn that
Steve Scheffler from Purdue was about as efficient as I can remember. He was 6'9" and was known for his intelligence. Led the nation in FG%. For us old-timers, Wes Unseld, from Louisville and pictured w Elvin Hayes, played center in college and the NBA at 6'7".
