Trent Lockett (born December 10, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for UNICS of the VTB United League. He played college basketball for Arizona State and Marquette.

High school career

Lockett attended Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, Minnesota. As a senior, he helped guide Hopkins to a 31-0 season and the 4A state championship with averages of 15 points and eight rebounds per game.[1]

College career

In his freshman season at Arizona State, Lockett was named to the Pac-10 All-Freshman team. In 33 games (15 starts), he averaged 6.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in 19.6 minutes per game.[1][2]

In his sophomore season, he earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors and first-team Pac-10 All-Academic honors. In 29 games, he averaged 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 30.7 minutes per game.[1][2][3]

That season, Lockett learned his mother had cancer, and looked into playing closer to his home in Minnesota.[5] He graduated after the season, allowing him to use his remaining year of eligibility at another school without needing to sit out a season for transferring.[4]

In 2012, Lockett transferred to Marquette for his senior year to be closer to his mother, who was suffering from lymphoma.[6] He was named to the 2012–13 Big East All-Academic Team and was also named Marquette's Defensive Player of the Year at the season's end.
