The Narrative that Trent is a Good Defender is False

So another trade thread?
Trent has been playing defense against some of the toughest players to guard in the league.
His defense is better than most.

Getting torched guarding better players isn’t good defense. Trent and Ant are tied for lowest DPRM on the team at -2.5 and even worse, Trent has a negative VORP (-.2) and only a 12.9 PER.

Totally a one-dimensional player.

15/2/1 with bad defense and a below average PER. Hope he turns it around but he’s a liability right now and doesn’t have a varied enough offensive game to do much more. I like him but he’s just so limited as a starter that he gets exposed nightly in that role.

CJ is missed.

Who here would want Trent/Hood over Powell now?

I’d rather have the MLE to find a defender than give Trent an inflated contract.

Bad technique can be fixed with good coaching.
Energy and effort can not....

Have I told you about Travis Outlaw yet? Trent has a low BBIQ but can shoot again elite level. That’s who he is.

Imagine if we could have traded Travis Outlaw for Kyle Lowry from the Rockets back then.

And drafted Giannis. I've heard hindsight is 20/20.

Trent a +54 in their win tonight. I have never heard of a player being a +54 in a game.

Don't worry, you'll hear about it hear for the next ten years, I'm sure.

They were up by 60 at one point. I don't think i have ever heard of that in the modern NBA either.

And it was all in the middle quarters. They played even in the 1st and 4th.
