Horton-Tucker selected to attend USA U18 training camp
- Thread starter UnCytely
- Start date
Impressive how he took it coast-to-coast so quickly and effortlessly. He missed the layup, but you can envision him running the fast break at Hilton. This is going to be an exciting season!
I'm not buying that 6'3". I think he's taller than that. Unless his soles are really thick.
Every cbb reporter is gushing over him on Twitter. Gonna be fun to follow THT and team USA this summer. No way he isn’t making this team.
USA Basketball measured him and you aren't buying it based on what exactly? Do you honestly think watching a few clips on the internet gives you a more accurate sense of height?
I think the disconnect is that you're comparing him to other players who likely measure with their shoes on and round up. For instance, Jacobson woudln't be 6'9" and Wigginton wouldn't be 6'2" measured that same way.
Official measurements. 6'4" with shoes. More important, 8'8" standing reach with a 36" max vertical
Not to call him a great on the ball defender, but Burton had the size, length and athleticism to guard about 95% of D1 players.
Some of the insane blocked shot videos I've seen of THT remind me very much of Burton's blocks. You don't see it coming but it's a very emphatic stuff.

6'3" 240 with a 7'1" reach and a 36" vert. Don't think there should be any concerns about him being physically ready to compete at the collegiate level.
I don't want to bring Iowa into this, but I can't help but chuckle about how par for the course it is that Pat McCaffery has a negative score in the wingspan category.

I have been incredibly impressed with a lot of THT's videos, but maybe his best attribute is that he seems to have that incredible fire and drive that the very best competitors and winners possess. He's won at every level and he always seems to be playing hard / taking things seriously.
He may not have the most elite physical tools and gifts (as in, the elite physical attributes that the very best of the NBA have) but I wouldn't be surprised if his desire, hunger and attitude are unsurpassed by others. It is really exciting to have a guy like him join the program. Seems to be a WINNER.
