With all the G league success and NBA scouts hype. The worst look, frozen on the inbounds. He didn't do himself any favours this Christmas.

Hayward just cruises to wherever he want.He seems to go slow motion into that mid range two and then that pass into far corner had serious zip almost like he flipped a switch.

Shocking that the 51st pick in 3mins in his second game didn't look good  ::)

Now! Now! "Sarcasm is angers ugly cousin" and I wasn't criticizing just reporting unpleasant circumstances.
I truly felt bad for Tremont. In his last short stint he did very well.

In his defense I can say not everyone is tailored to display their full abilities with a short span of time. Some players Come in with a plan and stick to that plan through the game. Then there are other players who adjust with the flow of the game. I think tre is a flow of the game player. Not only that he has played like 1 game with the Celtics and the rest has been straight d league.

I believe he is a really good player as well as Langford. I also believe if he had Langfords minutes he would be as productive as he was.  Although you mentioned Langford has been playing well, I can see an immediate flaw in his ball handling. I can’t quite see the flaw with tre yet other than his height. Langfords ball handling reminds me of Avery Bradley.

hayward is also an allstar...and Romeo Langford has 1st round talent. So, those two things may play a part in it.

Reporting without context can be misconstrued.

You might have pointed out that Tremont was put out there in slop time with a very unusual (and tiny) lineup consisting of himself, Carsen Edwards, Romeo Langford, Javonte Green and Semi Ojeleye!!!!

That lineup not only has never played together in an NBA (or G-League) game, but possibly has never played together even in practice.

They clearly spent the first few possessions just trying to figure out who was supposed to be where and doing what.   They finally only settled down for the very last couple possessions and then, as quick as their stretch started, it was over.

Also, no big man was on the floor, with Semi playing the 5 and the biggest problem that unit had was no defense in the paint.

The way you 'reported' this implies that it was all on Tremont for 'struggled'.  But Romeo was on the floor for this stretch as well.  If one didn't have all of Romeo's minutes from earlier in the game one might have asserted that he, too, 'struggled'.

The point being, offering any sort of assessment on how a player performed based on being thrown onto the floor for less than 3 minutes of garbage time with a very bizarre 5-man lineup who's only real purpose is to run the clock out is silly.    This tells us nothing about the players put in that situation.
NBA Officiating - Corrupt?  Incompetent?  Which is worse?  Does it matter?  It sucks.

Is that supposed to be a compliment?
I rember Bradley as being an average at best ball handler, even achieving that level after a couple of seasons. Granted, I havent seem much Waters recently, but what I did (summerleague), I was impressed by his ability to get to the rim. Bradley on the other hand could never get to the rim, he was a straight line driver
