Seattle Redhawks Key Players:[/b]
G- Darrion Trammell, So. 5’10, 165: 14.2 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 5.4 apg, 39.4% FG, 33.3% 3pt, 71.4% FT
It’s a little crazy that Trammell is averaging 14/5/3 and having a down year but that’s certainly the case. Last season he averaged 20.5 points per game on better all around shooting and a higher usage rate. Hopefully he doesn’t come out of his relative shooting slump tonight against the Huskies although it should be noted in 4 career games against Pac-12 teams he’s averaging just 10.8 ppg on 30% shooting so it may partly be strength of schedule based. Another thing to note is Trammell is 21st in the country in steal rate averaging nearly 3 per game so he can be a defensive pest as well at 5’10.
G- Cameron Tyson, So. 6’2, 190: 14.7 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 0.8 apg, 42.2% FG, 41.6% 3pt, 80.0% FT
It has been an interesting career arc for Tyson who averaged nearly 14 points per game at Idaho as a freshman out of Bothell then transferred to Houston where he only played 10 minutes per game for a Final 4 team almost exclusively as a 3-pt specialist. After transferring back down he’s putting up improved numbers so far for Seattle and leads the Redhawks in rebounding at 6 per game as a 6’2 shooting guard. For his career nearly 70% of his shots have been from behind the arc so expect for him to bomb away against UW.
G- Riley Grisby, Jr. 6’6. 220: 14.4 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 1.2 apg, 39.9% FG, 24.1% 3pt, 85.7% FT
Last year Grigsby averaged 17.8 points per game so his numbers are down a little bit although that’s partly due to just getting fewer minutes. He’s a career 30% 3pt shooter but made 38% from deep last year so he’s not very consistent. The one thing Grisby does really well is take care of the ball so he’s at least able to get a shot up even if it isn’t going in all that efficiently right now.
G- Viktor Rajkovic, Fr. 6’6, 210: 4.8 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 1.5 apg, 44.4% FG, 37.5% 3pt, 66.7% FT
Given the 3 headed monster listed above it’s not surprising that the rest of Seattle’s lineup doesn’t have a lot of scoring punch. Rajkovic has been a very solid 4th banana shooting efficiently while also serving as at least an average rebounder, passer, and defender. He’s a glue guy who won’t be the best player in any game but generally contributes toward winning.
F- Kobe Williamson, So. 6’8, 225: 5.8 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 0.6 bpg, 52.3% FG, 33.3% 3pt, 73.3% FT
There’s not really a true center on Seatle’s roster. They rotate a couple big men through but Williamson has played the most minutes and started last year. He’s a solid shot blocker for how many minutes he has played and is shooting 72.7% on 2-pt attempts so he has the potential to work Washington in the paint. The problem for Seattle is that he has taken more 3’s than 2’s and the Huskies should encourage that for a career 29% 3pt shooter.
