SignUp Now!Still a bit weak with the handles but if he keeps up the shooting it won't matter.
Cast into a supporting role on a Duke team devoid of wings, Trent has quietly done a solid job fitting in. Known as a scorer coming out of high school, Trent has done most of his work spotting up and running in transition. He’s shot the ball well from three-point range lately and has a projectable NBA body. Defensively, he’s a major questionmark at this stage Trent could probably use another season in college to show his stuff, but with Duke set to bring in R.J. Barrett, Cam Reddish and Zion Williamson, this might be a case where he tests and eventually goes.
How are GMs not getting raging hard-ons thinking about Klay-lite comparisons from him? If he doesn't end up in the next DX mock, then Adam Silver is pulling strings to assemble the super-duper team for next year.
Gary Trent Jr., has had an impressive freshman campaign, averaging 15 points and 4.3 rebounds a game. I think what has stood out the most is his shooting from long-range. Trent has connected on 65 of 145 three-point field goals (44.8%). At 6-foot-4, maybe 6-5, there’s certainly a lot of value in Trent long-term. I don’t see him as a first round draft pick this season, so it’s safe to say, at least as of today, it would likely be in his best interest to return. Now that doesn’t mean that he will, but I’d say as of today they are looking pretty good. The potential perimeter of Trent, Alex O’Connell, Tre Jones, R.J. Barrett and Cameron Reddish would be dynamic and arguably the top perimeter in the nation.

WOW. I know I shouldn't be, but it will be really hard to not be excited if Gary and Marques come back.
