He can still play the 4, like he’s always been pencilled to do.

Oh yeah I thought that was implied. I was talking more in terms of lineup flexibility

Tre King listed 6'6 is pretty funny to me. He was listed as 6'9 in the portal and we were hoping for a stretch 5 when he committed. Now the question won't be if he can play the 5 but if he can play the 3

At least he is thick and likely can hold his own inside

Tre King was only 6'7 last year.

Yeah, I guess there must have been several different reports on his height. Seems to really vary across the board.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

We need King as more of a guard/wing anyway so it doesn’t concern me

 

[dafarmer]

Robert Jones grew an inch. Tre King lost 2 inches

Maybe he was measured while cold.

 

[Cjreimer]

I think Lipsey could end up surprising folks.

I agree!

He was in the pool.

I am disappointed that we don't get height and weight of our coaches.

You know how baseball managers and coaches wear the same uniforms as their players?

I've always wanted basketball and football coaches to do the same thing.

TJ is built like a strong safety lol

Well George Raveling used to often wear warmups when coaching games...

A bunch of people at Iowa gave him grief about it, too.

You shrink when you get older - trust me.

But, your height at least stays the same.

Since we didn't get AJ Green, IMO that creates a more flexible role for Tre King- especially if he can shoot 3's.

Play some 3 with Osunniyi, Ward, Kunc and Jones rotating at the 4/5.

Or the 4 with Williams, Holmes, Kalscheur and Grill.

The development of Lipsey, Eli KIng and Watson could also dictate Tre King's position flexibility.

Funny how this is now pretty much the norm for coaches anymore. Very few still suit up in our casual society

 

[CyHans]

Tre King shrunk lol

I've noticed the shrinkage is usually around 2 inches

The level of workplace formality has never recovered from the pandemic at my company or with clients.

Hallelujah.

TJ can wear the short-sleeved polo as long as he wants. No more suits.

Call me old school, but I like the look of coaches suiting up. It gave everything a more 'professional' or 'official' feeling, kind of like the old saying "Dress for the job you want..." etc. Coaches anymore are undistinguishable from any Tom, ****, and Harry in the stands.

So I take it you don't like baseball managers wearing uniforms?

Not a fan of the George Raveling sweat suit look. But it seems to me the Jay Wright/John Calapari look is a bit over the top and very uncomfortable. Wearing a polo or button down shirt with dress slacks and comfortable shoes would seem appropriate.

I have no issue with Larry & the turtle neck.

Did they update this since the original post?
