We've seen a lot of players come through our doors over the years, varying in appearance, skill level, and everything in between. We decided to put forth a 'Getting to Know' series on some players who have attended events but still remain on the lesser-known side of things. Each of these prospects embody being a student-athlete and getting it done in the classroom as well as on the basketball court, and today's edition will take a closer look at Trevor Barrett of Trinity Academy.
We've seen Barrett progress over the years, previously stating, 'Starting things off, we look at a player that easily stood out among the top floor generals on display, Trevor Barrett. He's a smart, unselfish point guard prospect with an excellent pace to his game. Barrett can reliably run a team while offering a quality balance between scoring and playmaking. He's a sharp, timely passer with the necessary vision to set up teammates at a pretty consistent rate. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball in his hands, as it would allow him to pose a threat from either guard position. Coach Harmon on Barrett: 'Trevor is a very coachable player. He penetrates and finishes well with both hands. He does a great job of letting the game come to him. Trevor can improve defensively, both on and off the ball. He can also improve on transition defense. Trevor has great shot mechanics. He shoots the ball well from midrange and beyond the arc. He can continue to improve his physical strength.' Barrett showed the ability to lead a team and make others better at camp, which should allow for a productive summer season heading into his high school season.'
Last season, Barrett was a major cog for an incredibly talented Tigers' squad. He's a quality floor general with terrific vision, playmaking instincts, and ball-handling ability. Barrett knows how to breakdown defenses and make consistently smart decisions with the ball in his hands. He looks to set up others whenever possible, but is more than capable of applying pressure as a scoring option. Barrett shoots the ball at a high percentage but also attacks closeouts, finishes through contact, and can pull-up from midrange as needed. He's a reliable defender who utilizes his body and plays hard at all times. Barrett's smart, fundamental approach might get overlooked at times, but he's definitely a player who should find success at the next level.
