Seton Hall 82, Georgetown 67

Jabril Trawick — F/G, 6-5, 215
Junior, age unknown (~18/19)

Season (24 mpg): 8 PPG, 3 RPG, 1.5 APG
53% FG, 70% FT

Game: 11 points, 6 rebounds
4-10 FG, 1-2 three-point

Outlook: Trawick hasn’t developed the way many expected he would coming out of high school, when he was a top-100 recruit.

The good: Trawick is a high energy, active presence, who contributes with points around the basket and also slashing to the hoop.

The bad: Trawick’s jump shot never came along, relegating him to the interior. His versatility and constant movement in Georgetown’s offense makes it feasible in college, but obviously, a 6-5 forward won’t survive in the NBA.

At only 6-5, his shot distribution is as follows: 58% around the basket, 5% post up, 2% runners, and 35% jump shots. This would be acceptable if Trawick set up on the perimeter and then drove the ball, but he literally sets up in the interior.

He’s shooting 30% on jump shots this season, including 9-30 from three-point range. For Trawick, the next steps would be to develop his ball handling and jump shot, to be a legitimate threat on the perimeter. Then, he could use his finishing ability as a supplemental skill, not the focal point of his game. A lot of work to be done here.

Video: Recent scoring (Xavier, Seton Hall)

— Physical, runs the floor well. But only 6-5.

Video: 3-Point Attempts this season (9-30)

— Poor shooting form.

Video: Cutting/Slashing

— 17% of attempts are cuts to the hoop. Converting 77%. Great job sealing his man, and finishing through contact. Can compensate for lack of athleticism with forward momentum and good position down low.
