Byron Scott asked about Tristan in a recent interview:
-Says he needs to work on his post game and outside shot.
-Quoted “Around the basket he is really good because he’s so explosive and so quick. He can use either hand extremely well.”
-Says they’ll throw him the ball in the post because he knows he can get to the basket and makes good decisions and is very smart.
-Regarding his shot he said the first time they had Tristan in here (for a workout) his shot looked awful. Now it looks 100 times better but he still has about 100 times better to get it.
-He said that if he went over and told him to shoot 3,000 shots before he left the gym, that he’d stay there and shoot 3,000 shots. “He’s that type of kid.”
-Says he has a real high release on his shot that’s almost impossible to block and when he gets up for a shot he (his mechanics) doesn’t look bad at all. Says repetition and confidence are biggest things regarding his shot.
