    Huh? A guy cant dribble off his foot for a turnover? So CJ should not ever have a turnover then right?

    Trent's defense is enough to keep him in the rotation and if he can hit somewhere between high 30's and low 40's from 3 then he will be a solid rotational player. What he needs to work on now is his handles and passing along with being able to create his own shot. If he can make that step then he can possibly elevate to near all star capabilities in the future.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It's appropriate that you mention Crabbe--I was just thinking that Gary Trent Jr. looks like he might be pretty much exactly what many here thought Crabbe was/could be.

    I see a much more aggressive player in Trent than what Crabbe ever was in comparison and that's what makes him a better defender.

    Trent is a yard dog. He’s a freaking beast! He got the potential to be a Klay Thompson lite. While it would be nice to have Trent improve his handle and passing, I think the key to his development is if he can run around screen hitting all type of shot including off balance, much like Reddick. Cause right now he’s just stand in the corner and shoot, Stotts need him to do more than that

    Trent has a fan in a guy we all love to hate.
