Vermont’s steady shot-creator and lead-guard engine
Trae Bell-Haynes was a high-upside Vermont point guard who blended scoring punch with playmaking polish, finishing his Vermont career in 2018 with 1,629 points and 518 assists, both top-tier marks in program history. His calling card was efficiency and control: over his four years at Vermont, he averaged 11.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting 49% from the field and 39% from three. Scouts liked the combo of poise, touch, and lead-guard instincts—less flashy, more “runs the team and gets buckets when needed,” which is coach candy.
