Trent has potential (good instincts, moves his feet well, etc) to be a good defender. Unfortunately it’s not a priority of the coach so there’s no incentive for Trent to expend energy on that end of the court. He knows his offensive production is what’s going to get him paid this Summer so he appears to be putting in more effort there. Doesn’t help that the leaders on this team (Dame & CJ) also model that same behaviour.
He really seems confuse how he wants to attack it. When he makes up his mind the trap already there. But that's on both Dame and the Stotts. Both should regonize what there doing and draw something up to be able attack it. But that's Stotts he just don't adjust in games.
Hard to get in the penalty when your entire offense consists of isolation jump shots.
That's not Simon's fault. Everyone's standing around. That's hownpur offense is. Everyone stand around and wait until the guy with the ball does something.
he has barely tried on that end this year
It’s pathetic
Not sure what that means. Comes easy? He’s a target every night and never stops moving without the ball. He gets doubled and trapped nightly. He takes impossible shots but also take it to the rim when he can. Maybe you meant he makes it “look” easy
