Trent chose the Blue Devils over the Michigan State Spartans and UCLA Bruins.
Trent is the No. 8 recruit in the country and the No. 2 shooting guard, according to ESPN. He’s a natural-born scorer who can get buckets from all three levels and also has a strong frame that should help him become a quality defensive player in college. At the 2015 FIBA Americas U16 tournament, Trent was Team USA’s leading scorer with 17 points per game on 51 percent shooting and also averaged three rebounds.
Trent’s father was the No. 11 pick in the 1995 draft. In nine NBA seasons, he averaged 10 points and five rebounds per game for the Trail Blazers, Raptors, Mavericks and Timberwolves.
