Trent has been so good on 3-pointers that he has now made more 3’s for the season (63) than any Portland player other than Lillard (210) and McCollum (133). He has more 3-point makes than Carmelo Anthony (55) and Simons (57) despite having played 723 minutes, far fewer than Anthony’s 1,238 minutes and Simons’ 1,173.
In fact, Trent has already made more 3-pointers than three of last season’s rotation players made all season – Jake Layman (59), Meyers Leonard (50) and Maurice Harkless (33).
And more importantly, the former second-round pick has become a key cog in the Blazers’ attempt to salvage a tough, injury plagued season with a late run to the playoffs.
“You just love to see it,” Lillard said of Trent. “I told him the other day, I don’t know if I’ve ever been more proud or happier for another player, or a younger player, since I’ve been in the league, for what he’s been doing.”
