Message: [QUOTE="444JR, post: 5345641, member: 5904"] Love Tyrese Martin, we share the same birthday, March 7th. Wish UConn had him for another season. It's so great to see that he's latched on well with an NBA franchise. From what I've seen of Landrew, I think he is the more talented player. Stature wise he is similar to Steph Castle and Tyrese Martin at 6'6, but the fluidity of their movement is different. Steph is miles better than either when it comes to knowing how to use his size and strength as a defender. Tyrese had the assignment of guarding the other team's best perimeter option, but he was not as talented defensively as Steph. From what I've watch on Landrew, it's too early to tell what type of value he'll be able to bring defensively straight away, but I imagine it won't be Steph level. Tough to tell who the best scorer of the 3 are as all of them showed great promise at the high school level and during his one season in Storrs, Castle really took a back seat and still managed multiple 20+ point games when he got into attack mode. Tyrese always felt like a 2-4 scoring option at best and didn't create as naturally as I think Landrew does. In two of his three 3SSB games, Landrew went 13-18 from the field and two of those misses were when his team needed him to force something. I was astounded by how effortless and confident his offensive game looked. Forced almost nothing. Anytime he was open from three he knocked down his looks with zero hesitation and looked so smooth getting to the rim off the dribble. Small sample size of two games, but if he comes to Storrs I think we only get him for 2 seasons like Hawkins, Clingan, Lamb. [/QUOTE]
