Trae Golden honored as Georgia's "Mr. Basketball"

The Marietta Daily Journal - Golden honored as state s Mr Basketball

Best part of the article: "One of the most accurate free-throw shooters in the state, Golden made more than 80 percent of his shots from the charity stripe and attempted more than 275 free throws this season."

I think we'll be ok without Selby. He gets to the free throw line and makes them when he's there.

Thats great. I think we would be ok w/out Selby also,, but he would make the class that much better. But as is now,, its a good class job well done.

I don't think I realized how talented Golden is. Did he play the 1 or 2 spot in high school?

Yeah it's sounding like he was a potential McDonalds AA snub, he may turn out to be better than what rivals has him ranked at....we just never know until they get on the court. He seems like he could be a phenomenal scoring threat for the Vols

Does anyone know what classification his high school is in?

It says in the article. I think it's 5AAAAA. I assumed that was the highest classification, but the article reads like he was accused of not playing against very good competition.

I'm at work so I cant get to twitter for the quote but he was talking about he was feeling snubbed about being passed over and how it was motivating him to prove them wrong.

He was one of the really highly rated prospects when he was a sophomore but when he stopped growing at 6'2" he dropped down the rankings really quick.

Nice. Sounds like he's in the Bobby Maze mold, only a better shooter.

When I hear about Golden I picture him contributing the way Ben Gordon did for the Bulls before this awful season in Detroit. Someone who can come off the bench and light it up for 5 to 6 minutes at a time.

Yeah I think he will do some really good things for us

Cold Blooded shooter is all we need him to be. We need a great shooter more than anything. ESPN didnt even put him in the top 100. Rivals actually had him ranked the highest.

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

Just imagine what kind of duo he and Chris Jones will be together in 11.

He is in the highest classification but he is in a weak region.
