'21 - '22 In-Season UVa Basketball Chat

I wonder if Tony or any staff are at this game. A lot of talent in that building in general to scout.

High school basketball is unwatchable. I dont think I could ever make it as a scout.

Edit: Some random dude on Traudt’s team hit an open 3. Suddenly more watchable than UVA this year lol

Watching it live would be way better for me. Live you don’t have the awesome, awesome music or all the action film editing to deal with.

(not that scouts only watch youtube highlights)

It’s funny how many of our recent guards Traudt might have a better handle than. Tomas, Casey, Kody, and Marco for starters.

Yeah, just turned it on for 2Q and the takeaway seems basically to be that it’s hard to tell much about a kid when he’s playing with this talent surrounding him. Grand Island seems like the kind of town where I could have made Varsity.

How do you try to win this if you’re Traudt’s coach? Basically what he’s doing, I guess. Just try to foul out anyone who’s Traudt’s height.

That 3 where Isaac faded to the corner was a thing of beauty! Dre-esque

Other than scoring literally 85% of their points he’s a dumpster fire. j/k.

He looks great. Hitting fade away threes, dunking on fools. Good handle, nice passes. He’s a stud. He’s also doing it when he’s all the D has to really focus on.

Traudt is a better offensive player in the post than Shedrick or Caffaro. Today.

Followed up his poster dunk with an And-1 fighting thru a triple team

Better outside shooter than anyone we’ve seen this year too.

Hard to tell much about him on defense with him playing the center of a 2-3, but I think he will be a project on that side. And minutes early next year may depend on (1) other options, and (2) how Tony feels about a defensive project. Am I wrong?

We know how he feels about a defensive project big man. Look at Jay Huff

And it was always pretty clear Huff could be a rim protector. The question for Traudt, just like Huff, will be the dreaded “C” word – continuous.
