Tre
- Thread starter Laettshow
- Start date
Needs and wants are two different things.
The core group he came in with is leaving except Baker and his stock will never change

The way he acted has zero bearing on whether he is leaving. But i’d be shocked to see him in a Duke uni again
I honesty think Tre and his family would be making a huge mistake leaving. He won't get drafted in the first round. Willing to wager a lot on that.
They will all shock the world and say we’re coming back and shock the world!!!! Hahaha nah but that would be epic and is about a .1% possibility given how close this group is..... leave me alone I can dream
His stock absolutely changes if he can show a propensity to score. He has a huge section of the game yet to add to his arsenal. This draft is incredibly weak. Duval might have been drafted in this class.
But Tre could absolutely rise from the mid-20’s to the lottery or top 10 if he learns to shoot and make layups over the summer.
But who the hell am I to tell him to turn down a few million.
I don’t think there is anything Tre can (realistically) do to be a loterh pick in 1 (or 3) more year.. the only things that could make him a lottery pick is if he added a Curry-type 3pt shot or elite athleticism.. neither of those he is going to be able to do..
In my opinion, the highest he can ever be is a late teens / early 20’s pick.
If Tre was able to develop his three point shot a bit, he could absolutely go higher.
But nowadays I don’t think that guys stick around to do that.

False. The thing that the NBA loves about him is his defense, decision making and distribution skill. They hate his offense. All off season the UCF footage is going to be used against him. And why wouldn’t it? He had three games all season, just three that he hit more than one three. Right now, being offensively limited, he is a top 30 pick (between 20-30).
Add a consistent ability to stretch the floor (not “Steph Curry shooting ability”) and he shoots up the charts no question.
I can agree but look at the point guards in the weak draft next year.
This is that age old arguement I guess where the player has someone saying,” you can work on your offense in the league!”
Love to have him back in a Duke Uni but I’ll give it 95 percent he’s gone five he might come back.
There's a chance of that. Which is another reason I think he stays.
I honestly believe Tre is closer to a 4-year player than a one-and-done. If he leaves this year, he'll be in the G league for 2 years. And maybe on a 2-way contract. That's stupid when he could work on all of his deficiencies in college next year and improve his stock. Would make a difference of several million dollars to him going from the second round or undrafted to the late first round or higher.
Don't the new NCAA rules state that you can hire an agent and still come back if you do not like what you are hearing? Or does that go into effect next season?
If so hire an agent, test the waters and hear what teams are saying. No harm in that.... Makes it more of an educated decision without all the gambling.

I almost agreed with this. But Frank went to the Draft Combine and showed out. He was one of the most athletic guys there. And now that he’s healthy he’s been playing pretty well with the Pelicans. Missed his rookie year with a foot injury.
I think it’s he can go to the combine and still return if he’s not hearing what he wants. But that’s only if he gets an invite( which I think he will)
According to this , the new rules are they can hire NCAA approved agents even out of high school.
Maybe I'm reading wrong.

His reaction at the end of the game spoke volumes IMO. He not coming back to Duke
I don’t know how to say this. Tre didn’t make our half court offense better or easier. We needed that! Maybe one of the knowledgeable basketball guys can explain this? Or say I’m stupid lol. @dukiejay @dukehokie
He absolutely made others’ jobs easier at times. But when the gameplan became “sag off of Tre and double and triple RJ and Zion”, yeah their jobs became more difficult.
Reason #13 why when the combines and workouts start, Tre will fall farther than where he is right now, which is fringe 1st round.
Like that little dude from Auburn would have done wonders for this team. Imo. Tre just doesn’t have that ability.
This statement is true for more guys than not.
With his mom’s health issues, and just the prospect of getting to the league, I don’t see why Tre would continue to play basketball for free. But there is an argument to be made that he could make more money by returning for a year.
This, he had one of his worst games for him defensively and all he did offensively was walk the ball down and pass off to the wing vs MSU. He put no pressure on their D.
Tre is such a tough smart defender but he got a bit worked today. Tre just doesn’t offer any thing that will be tested in a combine or private workout. Lack of athleticism and shooting. It’s one thing to be a poor shooter it’s another to have such a bad hitch, almost impossible to improve this late in his development. See Demarcus Nelson.
Bolden has zero of chance of playing for an NBA team. The aguas caliente clippers on the other hand...
He ran the team and he ran it well, but he does NOT put any pressure on the defense in the half court set. Our offensive design would have been insanely effective with a scorer and shooter at the PG spot. Tre is neither and like duval last year he created spacing issues for us...
