Gary Trent Jr.

SG, Portland Trail Blazers

Gary Trent Jr. started for Damian Lillard (right knee sprain) on Saturday and was solid in 40 minutes as he put up 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting, including three 3s, four rebounds, two assists and two steals.

GTJ made a strong statement in this series, likely cementing what should be a big role on the Blazers' rotation in 2020-21. He's been a force off the bench and a steady source of points and threes, something we can count on next season.
