Trent just gotta watching some Payton II tape. Start shooting some jumpers when open, setting hard screens, cutting backdoor, and most importantly, learning to touch the ball for no more than 3 seconds before releasing it. Basically all good habits for surviving in a half court offense.It's a problem that only gets worse in the playoffs too. Even when Trent does have success on offense, it's not something that should be sustainable against a playoff gameplan. He can be a decent player in PnR when the defense is in a drop and he's willing to shoot the flaoter. But any competent coaching staff should be able to take that completely out of the picture by just going under. Maybe the reason why teams haven't already done that is because letting Trent dribble the air out the ball is already an effective defensive strategy.
