MIAMI — Tre Donaldson is preparing for the NBA draft following his senior season as the starting point guard for the University of Miami, during which he was named to the All-ACC second team. He has participated in the G League combine and completed predraft workouts with at least five NBA teams, with additional sessions scheduled ahead of the draft on June 23–24.
Last season, Donaldson averaged 16.4 points, 5.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 35.9% from 3-point range. He ranked third in the ACC with 201 total assists—the second-highest single-season total in Miami program history—and was one of four conference players to record at least 10 assists in five or more games. Donaldson was also among just 10 players nationally to average at least 16 points and 5.5 assists while shooting over 35% from beyond the arc.
At the G League combine earlier this month, Donaldson was one of 44 prospects evaluated. He averaged 11.5 points, four rebounds, and 3.5 assists across two scrimmages and recorded a 39-inch max vertical jump, the fourth-highest among participants.
"I played four years of college, so they know my game well," Donaldson said. "I feel like my game is well-rounded, but just continuing to work on every aspect of it, not being complacent, is the biggest thing."
Donaldson, a 6-foot-1 Florida native, is viewed as a potential second-round pick due to his scoring and leadership abilities. He has the capability to create space with his quickness and dribble moves and can pull up from well beyond the arc. In workouts, he has emphasized qualities beyond his on-court performance.
"(I want to show) my personality, my leadership skills, things that they don't get to see every day or on the court as much, or hear. So, just the way I talk, my vocals, the way I encourage others, and the way I can bring everybody together, I feel like that's what I want to show teams and how I can be that glue guy," he said.
