Trent

["Gene Kirkpatrick" <gkir@tjc.tyler.cc.tx.us>]

I'm not sure of his status, but Trent will not get much pt in Dallas,
so here's my evaluation after seeing him at his best in '99-00.  Trent
is 6'8", has a pf mentality, rebounds aggressively--esp. on offensive
end, shoots very well from close in to 15', and is extremely active. 
I liked what he contributed to Dallas; he's sort of a C. Weatherspoon
player with more size and shooting ability.

I can't say he would put either Battie or Vitaly on the bench since
he is not a shot-blocker nor a Center.  But if we traded one of them I
would say Trent is a player, when healthy, who could help any team as
a back-up pf.  With all our new scorers, we may look for more of a
rebounder, shot-blocker.
