Trepagnier is an interesting prospect. A top-notch athlete and good defender, but tweener-guard sized. He's been criticized for having a lot more athleticism than skills. A Freddie Jones type. If he's tightened his skill-set in his 3 years as a pro, he could help the Nets.

Strengths:Super athletic player owns a 40-inch vertical can jump out the gym ... Quick first step usually able to take his man off the dribble and finish with a acrobatic drive ... Has really become a much better jump shooter since he first stepped on the court as a freshman ... Excellent rebounder for a player at the shooting guard position ... Has very quick hands on defense able to anticipate most passes and plays the passing lanes well .... Moves without the ball and has started to become a better shooter of the screen and catch ....Wonderful work ethic has gotten better each year at USC ...Has excellent body control on his drives makes the hardest play look easy ... Can hit the spot up 3-point shot although by no means is he Steve Kerr...
Weakness: Most continue to become more consistent from the perimeter and with the 3-point shot .... Needs to work on his ball handling as he can get a little careless with the ball an commit a turnovers ... His size at the shooting guard position might hurt although this is doubtful considering his immense athleticism ... Needs to become a better shooter off the dribble from the perimeter ... Has a tendency when his jump-shot is falling to stop attacking the basket and settle for outside jumpers ... Had a off year for his senior season although this had nothing to do with his game but none the less the outside distractions with the NCAA took him a while to become refocused on basketball ...Could stand to become a better free throw shooter so he can take full advantage of his slashing ability
