Tristan was one of the bright spots for Sand Creek, and he put the work in in the summer, which he got on radars and put that into fruition during the season. There was plenty of variance on why the team struggled last year, but when Tristan was on the floor, the team was better. He averaged 10.3 points a game, had a career high of 24 points late in the season, and kept defenses honest with his outside shot. Tristan played the passing lanes, stole it, and finished in transition. He also played off-ball and showed he could get going in other ways, and was the team’s connector. Solid career for him. 

Daigle is primed to elevate his game even further at Sand Creek this season. He’s an electric three point shooter and once he heats up defenders are in trouble. He also does a great job reading closeouts then using his quick burst to get downhill and finish at the rim. His hard nosed defensive style forces opponents to work for everything, giving him real two way value. The next step is sharpening his ball handling and overall guard skills. If he continues developing there, he becomes an even more dangerous and complete combo guard ready to break out

Daigle averaged 6.7 points a game as a junior but had several big games where he took over offensively. He’s a high-volume three-point shooter who can knock it down to where he forces defenses to chase him off the line, which opens up driving lanes and playmaking opportunities for himself and teammates. That gravity opens up the floor. He also makes smart reads, stays active on both ends, and defends well on the perimeter. If he puts it together consistently in his senior season, he’s going to start drawing more attention, but he got our attention this go round as we welcome him to the rankings.
