It's not like he got super-special unique once-in-a-generation attention.  He got the same attention most sharpshooters get.  The concerning aspect is, and will remain to be, can he be consistent shooting the ball, and, if not, does he offer up enough otherwise to compensate for that?

You CAN overplay him.  Just taking a glance at the ACC leaders last year in three point field goals, nobody else shot anywhere near the percentage of 3s as total percentage of field goal attempts as Trevor (except Coron Williams and he shot .613 from two amazingly - Cooney was .478).  It hurts him and our offense to some extent that he's so limited otherwise.

We have to have him running around like a maniac on offense most possessions because quite frankly he's not a threat otherwise.  You could just stand in front of him and he's just going to catch and reverse the ball.  Other players garner enough respect where the overplay is risky - pick your poison kind of deal.

It's kind of bizarre thing to watch on offense to be honest - which I suppose is fantastic if he's hitting shots, but if he isn't half the people on offense are just standing around trying to set screens for him.  I do wonder if exhaustion doesn't play a part - the kid was running nonstop across that baseline forever last year...lol

I don't know, if he's shooting well, it pays off, but the results are somewhat disastrous if he isn't.  That's not on TC obviously, but it does, and will, continue to make him a focal point for fans.
