The inside story of Trent Jr. staying with the team: The balance between ball rights and growth

On August 23, there are many considerations behind the return of the Bucks player Gary Trent Jr. In an interview, Trent Jr.'s father revealed the key point - playing time and ball rights usage rate, which became the primary factor in Trent Jr.'s decision to stay in the team.

Old Trent said: "Everything is the key to the ball usage rate. Think about it, what will the ball usage rate be? How many opportunities can you get? You may make more money when you go to other teams, but what about the ball usage rate and performance opportunities there?" He believes that in the Bucks, Trent Jr. has opportunities to continue to grow. "Here, Trent Jr. still has the opportunity to improve data and continue to improve. Moreover, Antetokounmpo is at the peak and young, and is likely to be selected for the best team again."

Old Trent also revealed that after Lillard leaves the team, the team's tactical dynamics will change, and the distribution of ball rights may be more balanced. "The team's management and coaching staff will accept Trent Jr. in different ways." This means Trent Jr.'s role and opportunities in the team will change.

Trent Jr. himself also shared his experience last season: "At the beginning of last season, the team was still exploring how to use me. I couldn't touch the ball in the first six or seven minutes of the game. After finally getting the ball, I felt that I had to make a shot. I didn't touch the ball for a long time, and I was easily deformed as soon as I made a move, and my posture was weird, so my shooting percentage was only about 25% in some stages last season." He believed that the team's previous offense was overly dependent on Lillard, which led to a top-heavy foot. "Later, the score allocation was more reasonable, everyone's condition became better, and the team became stronger."

Judging from the analysis of Old Trent and Trent Jr.'s personal experience, the use of ball rights has a huge impact on players' performance and team development. Trent Jr. returns to the Bucks, and he values ​​it because the Bucks may obtain more reasonable ball rights distribution, thereby gaining more opportunities for performance and achieving personal growth. Now that Lillard has left the team, the Bucks’ tactical system is facing adjustments. Whether Trent Jr. can get more opportunities in the new season as expected, improve data and help the team is worthy of fans' expectations. The players' considerations for their own development and the impact of team tactical adjustments on players reflected in this decision have also added different topics to the NBA offseason.
