What a month it was at the Hoop State League… not only did it give us an early viewing of how teams may look but also an updated look at players and see how they have continued to develop. That is why we are now going to look more at 2023 Truman Claytor from Word of God.
First off, when you look at this Word of God roster this season, they are absolutely loaded with talent. But with the roster being split up at the Hoop State League, it gave us a better opportunity to see just what Claytor is able to provide with more opportunities.
I’ve been a huge fan of Claytor and believe he is one that deserves more attention. With so much talent around him, there is only one ball to share on the court but when there are more opportunities for him, Claytor continued to show that he can be a threat at 6’5 and seems to be getting even better as a shooter from the perimeter but also impacts from a variety of other levels. Game after game, he was knocking down shots from outside with ease, showing a confident stroke. But he also has the size to battle down low, score from multiple levels, help on the boards, and be a player that can make plays with the ball in his hands.
Now, there are still areas I do believe he can continue to work on and that will just come with time, but Claytor is a player that I believe can help a program, especially in situations where he excels and how he can be used on the floor.
