2018 Draft Prospects: Gary Trent Jr.

Who is the best pure 3-point shooter in this draft? Many feel it’s Trent Jr., whose father played in the NBA for nine seasons. During his one year at Duke, Trent Jr. made at least five 3-pointers in seven games and drilled six from deep four times. One of those games was against Miami when he erupted for 30 points, which is quite noteworthy considering the Hurricanes featured two of the best wing players in the country in Lonnie Walker and Bruce Brown.

Though he did struggle mightily throughout the ACC and NCAA Tournaments (he shot 2-of-10 from beyond the arc in the Elite 8 against Kansas), Trent shot 40.
