Second-Round Candidate: Gary Trent Jr.

ID CARD: 6-foot-5¾ shooting guard, Duke, freshman, 19 years old

DRAFT RANGE: Ranked 39th by ESPN.com; 42nd by SI.com; 20th among guards by NBA.com

SCOUTS LOVE: It takes some projection, but Trent – son of a solid NBA journeyman who played nine years with four franchises – could develop into a solid or better scoring wing. Like fellow Duke frosh and one-and-done players Marvin Bagley, Wendell Carter and Trevon Duval, Trent was a five-star recruit who had to play a similar role – a secondary role, in other words – in college as he’ll likely have to play in the NBA.
