Player Strengths
Sliding in at the #1 spot in the 'BT Powerhouses 25,' Melo Trimble has game. Arguably one of the best point guards in the country, Trimble showed some major poise and experience during his freshman season. A point guard who can dish the ball to his teammates is always a plus, and Trimble averaged a solid 3.0 assists per game, but one that can score 16.2 points per game to accompany his passing skills is an offensive juggernaut.
Melo Trimble also showed just how great he is at getting to and executing from the free throw line. Melo attempted a whopping 240 free throws last season, over 100 more than the next Terrapin, and knocked down 86% of his attempts. Having a reliable point guard who can draw contact and make free throws, especially in late game situations, is a huge asset for Maryland.
