I'm old enough to have watched Marty Haws play too. He was okay, nothing special. I remember him dunking and them making a big deal of it. On a breakaway. It wasn't an athletic dunk. It was the kind of dunk that kinda barely made it, that he could only do if on a breakaway.
TJ is not going to suddenly develop quick twitch explosiveness. He might get a little better, just like Tyler did his senior season. Tyler worked his butt off to get more athletic. He improved, but it was in the margins. And it wasn't enough to even sniff the NBA. He wasn't even athletic for the WCC.
TJ will have to be good on the basis of being smart and skilled, period.
