Gary Trent Jr. is already being noticed by his teammates for his fearlessness. The moment came at the end of the Portland Trail Blazers first day of training camp.
NBA.com’s Casey Holdahl reported on the event.
Before the first physically grueling day of practice ended, the team was to run its final drill – one that tests the players’ endurance:
The drill starts with a player throwing a ball to one of the coaches, who then passes it back to the player, who then passes it to the other coach standing on their side of the court, who passes it back to the player, who then sprints down the court for a layup, which is rebounded by a player who then starts the process all over.
