Gary Trent Jr's improvement on defense is the most remarkable thing I've witnessed in recent memory. I remember at Duke where he was never projected to be anything more than average on that end, which showed during his time in Portland. Now, in Toronto, he's turned himself into one of the better defensive guards in the league: awareness, effort, and desire to shift momentum.
1st in deflections and 2nd in steals, which is basically the same numbers as Caruso.
I guess it speaks more to the lack of defensive culture and accountability in Portland, and the contrast to that of what the Raptors have built.
