TrentynFlowers

Trentyn Flowers calls himself a “unicorn” because he’s a rare player at 6-foot-8 that shows “flashes of handles to attack closeouts and operate in pick-and-roll situations.” “I also have a good touch and athleticism that creates headaches for people,” Flowers told On3. Flowers is originally from Jefferson, Georgia, but he’s played in his high school career at Jackson County High School, Hunting Prep in Huntington, West Virginia, Sierra Canyon High School in the Los Angeles area and Combine Academy in North Carolina. Flowers’ father, Travis Flowers, owns and operates Life and Basketball Academy, which “aims to develop athletes beyond the game.” “He literally has 24/7 access to a gym, which he will live in if you let him,” Jefferson County coach Bryan Parker told the Athens Banner-Herald in 2022. “He’s a gym rat and you have to pull him out of the gym most of the time.” Flowers averaged 15.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and shot 45% from the floor and 33% from 3-point range during his junior season at Combine Academy.
