Tremont Waters to Georgetown: Hoyas Land 4-Star PG Prospect

The Georgetown Hoyas found the floor general to lead the offense a few years from now, securing the commitment of Tremont Waters on Wednesday.Notre Dame High School shared a clip of Waters making his decision:"The feeling I had when I went to Georgetown, everyone pretty much welcomed me into the family," Waters said, according to College Basketball Talk's Travis Hines. "I feel like theyre saying I wont be there for four years, but Ill be a part of the family the rest of my life."Waters is the No. 10 point guard and No. 36 player overall in the 2017 recruiting class on Scout.com.Scout.com's Evan Daniels thinks Waters is a big addition for Georgetown:The overall trend is for point guards to not only run the offense but also be high-volume scorers. Whereas John Stockton and Jason Kidd once set the gold standard at the position, Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving represent the new generation.The West Haven, Connecticut, native should fit into the latter mold. He's a good ball-handler and passer, as well as a relatively strong shooter. In 20 games with his AAU team, Expressions Elite, Waters shot 41.4 percent from the field, including 34.3 percent from beyond the arc, according to D1Circuit.com.Ideally, Waters can improve to a point where he is able to pose a greater threat from three-point range. While he can keep opposing defenses honest by hitting the occasional three, the shot isn't a major part of his offensive arsenal.Even if that doesn't happen, though, Waters has more than enough talent to make an impact on a major power at the college level.Expressions Elite shared a highlight tape of Waters on Twitter, and his passing ability and dribbling stand out in a big way:Size is one concern that Waters can do little to fix. According to Scout.com, he measures in at 5'11", 155 pounds. While he'll likely put on some more weight as he gets older, it's doubtful he'll get much taller.Waters won't let his frame be a major hindrance in terms of his impact. He's not afraid to get into the paint, and when he's not scoring himself, he has the intelligence to find an open teammate when the defense collapses on him.Waters will be Georgetown's primary ball-handler when he's on the floor, because he can be somewhat anonymous otherwise. Playing him anywhere other than point guardwhere he can control the offenseisn't maximizing his skill set.The 19-year-old is a great addition for the Hoyas, and he should make an immediate impact when he arrives in Washington, D.C.
