Traore

[earsky]

Do we know any players in the last 20 years that Traore remind us of?
I have to go back 30 years to Minor and Morton. He made that one move last night that was as good as I've seen from somebody 6'7 in quite a while.

And he's getting better every game. Rebounds,defends,blocks shots,leads the break. Truly impressive and I hope we can keep him around another year.

Not so much with Morton or Minor who both were good 3 point shooters and Traore is not. It's hard to think of a former Cards player like him but I'm sure there is. He has that spin move he uses a lot and sometimes it looks spectacular.

He plays hard and is a great rebounder. He's one of many players over the years whose game isn't best suited for his height. If he was 6'8 he could be a NBA draft pick.

He has been playing really well. 4-4 from the field with 11 rebounds in only 15 minutes.

He has springs. Reminds me a little or Cornelius Holden..

With Traore only being 6’5 with kind of awkward jumper.
I’m going to say a much better rebounding Tick Rogers.
He was also a 6’5 long tweener with great defense
Rogers stole the ball like it was his to begin with though

Alvin Sims, Bobby Turner

Bobby Turner. That’s a blast from the past.
BT and Griff at Male HS.

BT was only 6’ 3” IIRC bit could jump out of the gym.

He plays above the rim,but his handles are big guard. He's an interesting basketball player.

 

[wreckcard#22]

IDK, he seems raw to me. no other past card really fits that bill. Great effort, decent skill...seems to be the calling card of this team, save for a couple of guys that are next level. He could definitely be next level in time.

I know he looked like a shorter Trez on that put back dunk!
