NCAA Basketball: Top 5 unknown players going into 2019-2020 season
By Josh Stevens
No. 1 Tres Tinkle – Oregon State
This man is one of the most unknown players in college basketball. Tinkle plays on a bad team but always puts up ridiculous numbers. While the Pac-12 might have had a down year it is still one of the better conferences in college basketball and he made a mockery out of it going for nearly 21 a game grabbing nine rebounds an dishing out nearly four assists a game.
Tinkle is someone that has to put those numbers up for his team to have a chance in any game, but he will put this team on his back at times or look to get others involved into the offense sometimes as well, he is truly one of the more well-rounded players in the game.
The Beavers might have a chance to fight for a potential birth into the NCAA tournament next season and most of their hope rides on this senior who is one of the best players in the country that no one has ever heard about. He will bang around inside all game and will out-muscle you more often than not. Tinkle although he does have a funny name is nothing to laugh at as when the game ends you will look up and he will have a double-double and you will wonder what hit you.
Tinkle will now wow you with any part of his game, but he will just more often than not have a better game than you even though other players might have more talent the kid just knows basketball. Tinkle is unknown going into 2019-20 but is poised for a great send off season as one of the best players to go through Corvallis.
