Profile
Tristen Newton has been one of, if not the, best all-around guards in college basketball this season. He’s a very impactful player in nearly every aspect of the game, but struggles at times with forcing shots. Newton is a strong passer and has done an awesome job this season with facilitating UConn’s offense. Playing out of pick-and-rolls, especially with Clingan, Newton stays aggressive and looks to score but is also able to hit the roller if he does not have an open look. Newton is a strong driver and embraces contact before adjusting himself to finish. Newton is a great rebounder for his size and position. This creates fastbreak opportunities for UConn as he grabs defensive rebounds and pushes it himself.
