Write Up
Gary Trent Jr. is an interesting prospect who could have benefited from another year of college, but was perhaps "forced" to leave early due to the uncertainty of playing time next season with the new recruiting class. Trent Jr. is a hyper competitive player who is there to win games. He's a knock down spot up shooter who shows the ability to pull-up off the bounce. At 6'5.75" and 204 lbs, Trent Jr. has the size/frame to play perhaps the SG/SF positions, but is limited by his skill set and athleticism. Athletically, Trent Jr. can improve, he's not overly bouncy and lacks high level lateral quickness, which limits his ability in ISO situations. Trent Jr. could also improve his finishing ability as he shot an inefficient 43% on 2pt attempts and only averaged 2.6 FT's per game. Overall, Trent Jr. is a fairly one dimensional player, it's tough to bet against his competitiveness, but at this stage if he's not scoring there's not much else he currently brings to the table.
