Gary Trent Jr. has gotten better in every year of his career thus far and is still just scratching the surface on the player that he can be. The big question regarding Trent heading into the offseason revolves around his ceiling as a player.

Trent is coming off a season in which he averaged 15 points on 40 percent shooting from the field and 37 percent shooting from 3-point range. If he can continue to improve on that end of the floor, he could emerge as a valuable wing threat for a winning team.

The Raptors may be going through a bit of a retooling but I simply can’t see a scenario where they could simply let Trent walk this offseason. He will likely be costly, but his value and potential are something they can’t lose.

Prediction: Toronto Raptors
