Is Trey McGowens a good defender? YES! He’s averaging nearly TWO steals per game (creative rounding), and he leads the ACC in steal percentage (4.1%). Last season, he finished in the top-10 in the conference in steals, steals per game, steal percentage and defensive win shares last year. Currently, he’s trending to finish in the top-10 in those first three categories as a sophomore. Here’s how that’s come to pass.
Exhibit A (from last year):
McGowens is an absolutely terror for teams when applying full court or three-quarter court pressure, especially after an inbounds.
