Gary Trent Jr. Could Make Immediate Impact for the Trail Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers bench will look a lot different heading into the 2018-19 season. Gone are Ed Davis, Pat Connaughton and Shabazz Napier, they’ve been replaced with the likes of Anfernee Simons, Nik Stauskas and Seth Curry. But it’s the Blazers’ second-round pick from this summer who has a chance to really turn heads. Gary Trent Jr. is a lights-out shooter with an NBA pedigree, and could be an underrated cog off the bench this season for a team that will likely be battling for a playoff spot.
