I understand why Trevion was not considered a first round prospect, as he does have some defensive limitations, and he is not a good outside shooter. He's more a traditional post scorer, which is not in keeping with todays game so much. That said, pretty much everything that was said in this NBADRAFT.NET scouting report regarding Trevion's strengths are on full display in the highlight video at the link.
"A gifted and unique blend of scoring and playmaking from a frontcourt player … Four-year contributor and star at Purdue averaging 11 points and seven rebounds during his career … Extremely high usage rate because of his ability to contribute in so many ways at the offensive end … Can bully opponents down low to get to his spot and knock down hook shots … Seemingly has eyes in the back of his head at points to read defenses and cuts with his back turned to the action … Very accurate passer who can rack up assists on post-ups and face ups … Hits a ton of tough shots around the rim … Decent ball-handler who worked on hesitation crossovers a ton in face ups on the perimeter and the high post … Good things usually happen with him working in the post whether it is a shot for him or an opportunity to surround him with spacing and open looks for others … Competitive rebounder who is always looking ahead to start fast breaks … Moves well for his size defensively, but better athletes will cause him problems at the next level … Uses shimmies and an array of post moves to get opponents off balance and draw contact that sends him to the line at a high rate … Playmaking big men can allow coaches to be creative with their sets and off-ball movement and Williams has the potential to be an elite playmaking big with the right coaching … Unique skill set that can make him a solid impact player in the right system with the right players around him … Selfless leader who plays with a ton of energy …"
Really looking forward to seeing him play for our SL team.
