Tristen Newton

[Candyman]

Newton grabs rebound and always looking to run or pass ahead. I love Rj but he never did this. He was a half court guard. He never or hardly pushed the ball. Jackson and Newton grabbing and going is going to be exciting.

It’s been pointed out but the fact that we shoot like crap and still win by 20. This shows the talent level is going up. When bench can come in and dominate like Joey and Donovan.

If Newton is our 4th best player, then I think we're a pretty damn good team.

It's kind of unfair to compare RJ to Newton. They may have played the same position, but their games are so different. RJ was built for the half court game. Unless he was clear ahead of the pack, I don't think the coaches wanted him to be going up and down the floor. At the same time, he was excellent at using picks and splitting double teams to his advantage.
Newton has the natural size that on the break you have to foul him or let him go in. He has enough size that it is hard to go over him, especially since he has a shiftyness to him and hunts for contact. The team just needs him to find his stroke, which the past indicates will come with a little time.
