TRob's Blueprint

[UnderHisOwnPower]

look no further than Wendell Alexis. At the 2 minute mark of this highlight video, there are 2 baseline jumpers that I see TRob adding in his last 2 years, making him a nice threat, a 3rd option next year and 2nd option as a Sr. They have similar size and demeanor too, quiet and workman like. WA had more points and rebounds at this point in his career, but only averaged 9.6 and 6 as a Jr., then shot up to 15 and 7 as a Sr. No reason to think TRob can't do the same.

The game has changed. It looks like all those guys were 20 pounds lighter than today's players. And, they played the game 6 inches lower than the current athletes.

I do love the way Wendell used the backboard.

Was trob shooting 3's in HS? I thought I remember reading that he was capable of making the occasional 3.

There was no college 3-point line (except the 18-foot experimental line in the ACC) until the year after Alexis graduated.

[Sorry. I mis-read your question as regarding Alexis.]

Roberson shot some three's in high school but to my eyes (and I saw Roberson play in person in high school) his shot always looked like a work-in-progress, especially from long range.

And a great retirment ceremony like a nba all star

Apples to oranges. wendell did not start until his senior year. he was good enough to get frafted by the NBA although not good enough to stick.
