Role and evidence
Portland signed Kent to a two-way contract March 3. NBA G League official release, 2026-03-04. He played five NBA games at 4.4 minutes, averaging 2.0 points and 1.0 rebound; his G League line was 12.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 30.8 minutes with .498 FG and .401 from three. NBA G League player page, accessed 2026-07-18
Kent's 6-foot-8 frame and shooting give him a useful call-up profile, but Portland's forward minutes belong to Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara, Shaedon Sharpe and veteran guards sliding up.
Fantasy value
- Redraft: 300+; waiver watch only.
- Dynasty: 230+; viable in 30-team formats.
- Trigger: standard-contract conversion or consecutive 20-minute NBA assignments.
Range
- Ceiling: earns the open third-wing role and a standard deal.
- Floor: spends nearly the full season in the G League.

Career record
Pre-NBA: Five college seasons across three schools. Two buried years at Bradley (3.6 points on .366 as a freshman, 6.9 on .382 as a sophomore), a transfer year at Indiana State off the bench (5.1 points on .468), then a breakout in 2023-24: 38 games, 30.3 minutes, 13.5 points and 8.1 rebounds on .639/.366/.837, earning second-team All-Missouri Valley and MVC All-Defensive honors. A final transfer to Texas in 2024-25 went badly — 27 games, 17.2 minutes, 5.6 points on .509 with .270 from three. Draft: undrafted (2025). Won a Rip City Remix roster spot out of an open local tryout, then averaged 11.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 1.0 steal in 26.2 minutes over 37 G League games on .492/.398/.919, and signed a Portland two-way on March 3, 2026.

Durability: No injury history to report. The five-game NBA total reflects a March 3 two-way signing and garbage-time usage, not missed time. He debuted March 16 against Brooklyn and played three minutes.
Trajectory: No meaningful NBA record yet — 22 total minutes. The case for him is the 2023-24 Indiana State season and the G League year: a 6-8 forward who rebounds, defends, and shot .398 from three on real volume with a .919 free-throw mark that suggests the stroke is genuine. The Texas year is the counterargument, and it is the most recent high-major evidence. His path in 2026-27 runs through the Remix; Avdija, Camara and Sharpe hold the forward minutes and the veteran guards slide up ahead of him. He is worth a waiver look only on a standard-contract conversion or a run of consecutive 20-minute assignments during a Portland injury cluster.

Open questions
- Does his G League three-point accuracy survive NBA closeouts?
- Can he defend NBA forwards well enough to earn spot minutes?
