PG Tremont Waters (UConn Offer)

[ctchamps]

Great work by the kid from my hometown - maybe it's my aging eyes but in this pix as he looks like he has grown a couple of inches?

He was 5'9 140 his freshman year. He's 5'11 145 this season. Good call!!

Following Saturday’s games, six different scouts, coaches or media members might come up with as many different views as to the pecking order of the “point guard-types” in terms of ball-handling and passing skills.

But – at least from among those who watched him play at least one of his two games with the “Georgetown” team Saturday – there should be a unanimous choice as to the identity of the best jump shooter in the camp at the position.

With his team trailing by five points and a minute or so in regulation against Five-foot-10 Tremont Waters (South, CT, Prep) against “Villanova”, Waters rose and knocked in a 22-footer (or so) from the left wing.

And, after a turnover at the other end, he penetrated from the left side and scored while being fouled for the tying and go-ahead points (an automatic three points are awarded at the camp when a kid scoring is fouled) with about 20 seconds to go.

In his second game, Georgetown fell behind by 20 points with just less than 10 minutes remaining in regulation against a gifted “Seton Hall” squad that is led by 6-10 sophomore Zach Kent (St. Andrew’s School in Middletown, DE) and 6-3 10th gradersDavid Beatty (Radnor, PA, Archbishop Carroll) and Terry Nolan (Essex, MD, Mt. Carmel).

Now, I wasn’t keeping shooting stats (or any kind of stats at all, for that matter), mind you, but it sure seemed as if Waters must have knocked in about eight consecutive jump shots down the stretch – with about six of those from behind the arc and with at least one defender running at his face on each occasion.

Yeah, he provides a pretty sweet definition for the popular-to-this generation “that jumper is so wet” saying, doesn’t he?

He banged in his last 3 with about 20 seconds to go before an automatic couple of “free throws” – via a Georgetown foul with Villanova in the bonus – provided the final margin of five points for Villanova.

UCONN needs to gear up its gifted program and admit TremonT for Fall'15 and offer him the combined H.S. diploma/BA degree study package.

Imagine if this kid grows another couple inches. Look out.

 

[boog204]

he's got so much Shabazz in his game that it's ridiculous...

yea game reminds of shabazz , even Steph Curry sometimes. His game is so smooth and entertaining. He looks real small though.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Wow! This kid has got "IT"....he is so smooth, can shoot from deep, send pinpoint passes, hold off defenders with his subtle dribble (if you know what I mean), and then find the small open area to get his shot off! As a freshman, nonetheless.

 

[bmayuc]

I'm always amazed at 2 things in his mixtapes:

1. The ball never touches the rim. I know its a mixtape, but regardless none of the MAKES even touch the rim.
2. he makes 1-2 plays where he is making INCREDIBLE defensive plays near the rim, at 5'11. Sick hops/anticipation.

 

[UconnU]

Will this kid just commit already.

That creative ability to finish at the basket is a great skill to have for smallish guards. It's something that Shabazz and Kemba both did very well.

dudes:dont be so cheap

pleez get that think cap with special brim to increase yo powers of scouting observation

Mr. TremonT is way beyond youz parameters of hoop reality

[upstater]

Wow, this kid never misses.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Wow, this kid never misses.

His name is Tre' Waters. Kid was born to splash the net.

 

[UCweCONN]

He has the ball on a string.

 

[Versace_husky]

"Young Shabazz"

I was thinking the same thing

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Wow, this kid never misses.

Well it is a mixtape... If he missed in this it would be kinda awkward lol

"Young Shabazz"

Body, style of play and the way they move do look very similar.

[MuchoDogYears]

Tremont's listed height last season was 5'7". NERR says that he's grown a few inches and is now being listed at 5'10".

Hard to believe this kid was the starting PG as a 5'7" freshman last year for a veteran prep school team. Not only that, but he starred in the role. Hoping he's future PG at UConn.

 

[CTBasketball]

Hope he gets over 6'.

Jeremy Harris poured in 32 points for Fishburne but it wasn’t enough to knock off a resilient Cardinals team. Travis Atson had 24 points and 7 rebounds while Tremont Waters had 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists. Jovan Grujic added an efficient 16 points for a South Kent team that played without K.J. Santos.
