Trier plays with great confidence and mixes a silky-smooth shot with a relentless attacking style to the hoop.

Clippers guard Jamal Crawford is a Trier fan.

Sean Miller will look for Trier to be a bucket stopper on the other end too. He certainly has the athleticism to fill that role.

Some truth to this for Trier (who finished with 28 points): Other than Derrick Williams’ 32 points against Duke in the 2011 Sweet 16 game, no player under Sean Miller has scored an extraordinary amount in a game. Six different players led Arizona in scoring in games this season. Only nine times did a player score at least 20 points with T.J McConnell, of all players as the point guard, with a season-high of 25 points at ASU.
