After a four-year collegiate career, North Carolina guard Seth Trimble is working to prove himself in front of executives and coaches ahead of the 2026 NBA draft.
Trimble was an All-ACC honorable mention last season, averaging 14 points, 3.8 rebounds, three assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 47.1% from the field. He ranked 10th in the conference in total steals (46) and in free-throw percentage (82.1).
The 6-foot-3 Trimble is busy conducting team workouts and interviews, including visits with the Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Lakers. He is welcoming the challenge of such a hectic and grueling time traveling across the country.
"It speaks to the process of this," Trimble said last week in Indianapolis. "You can be all the way on the west coast one day, and then you're in Indiana the next day. I got in at midnight last night, and I got to be sharp. I've got to get my mind right and get enough rest to do the things I can to make sure my body is ready to go."
Trimble finished in double figures last season in all but five games with the Tar Heels, including a season-high 30-point performance on Feb. 23 in a win over Louisville. He closed out the year by dishing out 20 assists over his last three outings.
The 21-year-old was among the 44 prospects who competed in the G League combine last month, averaging 8.5 points, 1.5 assists and one steal in two scrimmages. He also recorded a 43 1/2-inch max vertical jump, the highest mark of all participants.
Trimble is considered a possible second-round pick because of his scoring, defensive instincts and leadership. He believes he has a lot to offer teams at the next level and has plenty of room to improve on the court.
"I'm a worker, and I'm willing to do whatever it is the team needs me to be," Trimble said. "I'm going to continue to get better. I think that is the biggest thing. I think I've shown that over the last four years, and I think that will continue to happen as I evolve as a basketball player."
