Gary Trent Jr. was picked in the second round of the draft in 2018 and spent most of his first season riding the pine or playing garbage time for this Trail Blazers team. Due to the injuries that we have talked about in so much detail, Trent has had a larger role than initially thought and he has taken it with both hands.
Though he may never be a lead guard like young teammate Anfernee Simons, Trent has shown flashes of play that may mean he can be a three and d wing in the league long-term.
