Potential:

Rebounding is an under appreciated and often overlooked basketball skill. At the next level, Tra’s ability to rebound the basketball will earn him playing time. Defensively, he is ready to compete from Day One. His physical strength enables him to guard interior players, but he also has the lateral quickness to defend on the perimeter as well. As his ball-handling and perimeter shooting continue to improve, he will become a more formidable offensive threat. Tra plans to major in Sports Medicine.
