Finally, a quick thread on Trezz.

First - Dude is quick/explosive as hell, and will obliterate slow footed centers in space. We're going to see a lot of emphatic dunks and highlights lmao.
Second - Not only is he too fast for most opposing bigs, but Trezz is going to bring the bully ball and physicality too, especially on mismatches against smaller dudes.

Just in these clips, Trezz uses that shoulder and explosion to bowl over Embiid, Kanter, and Allen.
Third - No one will mistake Trezz as someone who guards all 5 positions. Even here, guards flew past him easily. But what is intriguing is the explosiveness with which he is able to recover for the shot block. Vogel may leverage that for aggressive schemes like blitzing, etc.
Fourth - I wasn't aware that he had as much playmaking chops as he did. Here, he makes some solid reads in multiple contexts - the short roll, passing out of the double team, etc. You can never have enough passers on a squad.
Finally - The Lakers, already one of the most explosive transition teams in basketball, got a guy in Trezz who can go coast-to-coast on his own with regularity and ease.

Between Dennis, Montrezl, and Caruso on the break, the Lakers will have their own Run DMC off the bench!
