          Isn't that what catch and shoot players do?

            Not true. Often guys who force shots often get in trouble and get stripped or travel as they try to get a difficult shot off. Gary is no ball mover, but he is not a complete black hole.

            While 2 assists per game is low, especially for a guard, we have guys on the team like Boucher who in 2021/22 was at 0.3 assists per game in over 20 minutes per and OG who is a career 1.4 assist per game guy in over 26 min per.

              Klay is only 0.8 assist better per game.
              Maybe he is a bad player too?

                  OR
                  he can improve his game and be a better playmaker to show off.

                        Not so much assists, but he does need to get better at finding the pass to the open man when its there instead of taking a contested shot.

                          I agree.
                          but then perhaps Klay (.547 TS% , 2.8 assists) has to be better too.
                          Gary = .546 TS%, 2 assists

                          • I like that the only thing I've heard related to Trent so for this off season is Scotties' tweet about Trent making the all defense team this season. It's far fetched I realize, but a pretty good indicator of what the coaching staff have asked him to work on and what Trent is focused on.

                            If he can be a good defender by Toronto Raptors' standards its going to be huge. I can't wait to find out if he starts or not next season.

                            • This team goes through so many dry spells not sure how you can criticize trent. We need a shoot first guy. And we need more of them not less. Sometimes in the playoffs it seems everyone on the team is afraid to shoot except trent. Again my favourite part about him is he doesnt shrink in the big moments. These type of guys you keep for playoffs

                                whats your point... dude doesn't pass at all and makes bad offensive decisions at times. I can appreciate the role he plays and still be aware that he could pass more and make better decisions. I am not expecting him to initiate offence like barnes, or siakam... but he still can be significantly better about recognizing the bad options that are on the floor in front of him literally.

                                There were many times last year when he could have passed the ball to someone open but opted to drive against two or three defenders.. if you have two guys on you or more.. someone is wide open simple as that.
