New Reid Travis highlights

Excellent touch around the hoop. Form on the rare jump shot looks better than the free throw and 3 point percentages would indicate.
Decent handle for a big.

Will face better defenses and more high level athletes here and may seem more mortal due to that especially early on as he adjusts to a new system and teammates. Of course he will have more help and be less keyed on so it might balance out.

Can’t face any more of a high level athlete then the #1 pick in this years draft. Looks like he dominated him.

I think you see his shot and hops improve. He went to Stanford and got a great education, and now he is here to become a great basketball player. They will make sure he develops a reliable jump shot and works on his legs. With the right leg workouts, you can really improve your vertical. Not saying he will be jumping out of the building, but if he could jump another four to six inches it will be scary. Looks like he has focused on his upper body, don't be surprised if he seems to lose a little size up top. It won't be enough to change him being a beast and he will just look very defined. I can't wait to see his development, after our staff has had a few months with him.

This season is gonna be awesome, we don't have to worry where our offense will come from. We will be good enough to beat people with our offense and once our defense develops ( which is usually around the time we start saying we think our team has figured it out) we will be scary good. I wouldn't want have to game plan against our team. You won't be able to double team anyone down low (especially when PJ and Travis are in together) and we should have decent outside shooting. Look for opposing teams to clog the lane, and just pray we aren't hitting our shots.

Couldnt help thinking the same thing when i watched

These size guys have to develop into more stretch three guys for today's pro game. I think that is one reason to come to UK. Remember how Calipari got Patterson to shoot threes! That in my mind helped Patterson immensely in the pros.

Sure, but that is an example not the rule and extends beyond an individual matchup. The whole team matters as does the whole conference.
