He is looking much better in this aspect of the game and, as a result, has a number of assists in the past few games. Like Roy Williams said...you can't double team a big man who can pass.

Trent was a perimeter player in high school who outscored everyone because he was the biggest player on the court who was also the best athlete. He did not get to BYU as a basketball player, but came as a pure athlete. He was also a year younger as he graduated from HS early. As he has physically matured and grown comfortable playing under the basket he is demonstrating skills commensurate to his athleticism. I think he will bolt for the NBA after this year if he keeps playing this well, however I think he needs another year at the college level to develop more of a polished perimeter game. I don't think he will be a back to the basket player at the next level.
