The odds were against Allonzo Trier as an undrafted free agent. It took one team, the New York Knicks, to give him a chance, but who predicted him exceeding a two-way contract through the first month this team has been together?
Early success poured into the regular season, when Trier compiled two 15-point games in his first three games. He settled down for a week afterwards, but since New York’s win against the Brooklyn Nets, the 22-year-old has settled into a groove.
In this latest three-game stretch, Trier has 16.3 points and 3.3 rebounds on 79,2 percent shooting and 50 percent from behind the arc.
