Offense
59% FT in career, just over 30% 3pt. Not going to be a threat here unless he has a total overhaul.
8.2 FTA per 40.
Good burst and first step.
Nice handle to get him where he needs to go, a lot of deception and shiftiness.
Some decent bounce and spring.
Heads up cutter.
Good footwork rolling and roving baseline.
Sound vision and passing in various scenarios.
Stiff shooting mechanics, all upper body, legs don't bend. Frankly a mess here.
Limited right hand.
Defense
Great defensive footwork, lateral agility.
Physical presence, mature.
Excellent rebounder for his size.
Ability to defend with versatility at the 1-3.
Swing Factors
Perimeter Shooting - Toolsy offensively probably isn't enough if he can't become a formidable floor spacer. He would be able to utilize his triple threat and attack more often as well. Luckily his mechanics should be started from scratch so maybe a shooting coach guru finds a spark of magic.
Defensive Reliability - If Tarke can put the clamps down on positions 1-3 there may be a place for him in the NBA.
Role
A gifted defensive and rebounding wing who has some bounce and craft cutting for buckets.
LOW: Tarke never sniffs an NBA floor. After some time in the summer league and/or G-League he goes overseas as a useful versatile defensive wing with some attacking skills.
*HIGH: Showing the defensive versatility and rebounding skills early Tarke gets some tick. He is an effective cutter, screen & roll option, plus he begins to floor space competently. He continues to attack the cup and get to the line. He becomes a working part of a rotation.
