    Was Wesley Mathews very athletic?

    Because he could defend and get into offensive players thus neutralizing the size difference. Trent doesn't have that ability.

    Simons and Khryi are nothing alike?

    Ok, well they both play 1/2.

    Trent plays 2/3.

    Khyri is by far the superior defender to all of them, however the first thing Donovan Mitchell says about Penny is that “all I talk to him about is defense”, and Penny knows that’s how he will stay in the league. Will he become Khryi, probably not. However, haven’t seen a lot of Penny’s tape.

    Khryi also attacks the basket, creates for others... both things Trent doesn’t do.

    They are both around the same size, attack and can shoot the 3 - once again, something Gary Trent Jr. doesn’t do, often at least.

    Trent average athleticism?
    40” vert (Tied Top 5) , 33.5” standing. (Top 3)
    2.99 Shuttle Run (Top 5)
    3.12 3/4 spring (T-Top 9)

    All of those are above average, so I’m not sure what you mean, or else he would be ranking around 25-30 in those categories.

    In regards to Trent not playing bigger than he is, I have to really question that... Started out the season hit from 3, tanked, started driving like a bull in a china shop solely relying on his size and being bigger, got pulled and started taking 3s and one dribble pull-ups closer towards to the top of the key, as to avoid the charges and turnovers because he sucks at creating for himself and dribbles about as well as Aminu.

    Also, you should check out Trent Jr’s rebounding, for not playing ‘bigger’ than he is, it’s pretty decent.

    But he has all the other abilities Wes lacked pretty much...Wes was our version of Raja Bell only Wes had worse handles...we've got defenders now...we need scoring big time to beat GS

    Trent's defensive numbers as a freshman are better than Crabbe's were. Check it out. Better than Matthews as a freshman as well. And Trent was a more prolific shooter. He certainly doesn't have worse handles than either Crabbe or Wes.
