you say a lot of things lol
I’m just speaking overall, he’s a better shooter that can score at the same (maybe slightly better) rate as Herro and does it as a starter. He’s worlds better defensively, like not even close. Herro is a better rebounder and passer and Trent is 1 year older so we’ll see how Trent’s current year compares to Herros next. Don’t sit here and try to shun it off like it’s not even close though lol, it can literally all be backed by the numbers
It's a close comparison.
Gary Trent Jr. is a starter but plays on a worse team (albeit still a playoff one) with arguably lesser talented players surrounding him, and so his 19th ppg as the 3rd option behind FVV and Siakam is highly impressive.
Tyler Herro on the other hand, averages more points, rebounds, and assists, but has worse efficiency and is also coming off of the bench. The defense also isn't the greatest either, as Herro is a slightly below average defender at this point of his career whereas Trent Jr. is arguably on the
perennial elite side.
I would still take Herro over Gary Trent Jr mainly because he has more tools to work with offensively (Gary is a better shooter and that's about it). And as you mentioned - Herro is also a year younger - so he has time on the side. Lastly, Herro has had to play a lot of games essentially being the primary scorer for us, as all three of Jimmy, Bam and Lowry have each missed significant time. This has definitely impacted his efficiency to an extent.
It's subjective and definitely not a wash on either end.
