Johnson has that Arenas up at 3 AM shooting 1000 3s mentality. They're trying to kick him out the gym for shooting too much. Kid is going to be a BEAST!!!!!!!

Tre also said he wants to shoot 90% from the FT line this year because he didn't do it in college.

After the Keefe and CJ segments comes a Tre
segment which I found to be excellent. Tre is
a really impressive guy who I find really easy to
root for. Now all that may not matter once the
games and his career begins in earnest. But his
approach and attitude is pretty spot on. If for
whatever reason he doesN'T become a solid or better
NBA player, it won't be because he's a head case.

Side note - in the beginning when Keefe is taking
questions, they could ask him about Wiz game TV
coverage. Obviously that's outside of his lane and
he can't diss the Leonsis folks. My only point is that
in order improve team support and build the fanbase, they're
not helping themselves with how it's looking now.

That came up in several of the Texas games. The coaches had to prevent him from working too hard and not having enough energy left for the games.

I just know this kid will put on a show like Ace did last night. I honestly would be shocked if he looked like your typical 19-yr old rookie. My expectations for Tre are pretty high.

Absolutely. I have highly unreasonable expectations for this kid, and I hope he exceeds them.

I have high expectations too, but more so for the long term rather than the short term. I think he'll be solid from the start, but his greatest talent may be his work ethic. He is just going to keep getting better over time. AFM's Gilbert Arenas analogy is seems appropriate. If he is a workout psycho like Arenas was, there isn't much limit on his upside. And not only does that bode well for his individual development, it should also be a key component of a new Wizards culture.
