They were pounding their chests when Ben Simmons gave them the series a few years ago.

It was so dumb and racially motivated. They wanted to market the black guy to ATL and chose that over talent and potential. Traes peers can't stand the guy. He is never invited to the all star game or Olympics. Sad.

This is a city whose fans still idolize Michael Vick.

If Luka had Trae's work ethic and mentality he'd be the unquestioned best player in the nba right now

quote:

Luka was someone who had a grown man body at age 15 and was playing against grown men. When Trae was playing high schoolers, Luka was playing grown men. Luke was always gonna come into the league more nba ready than trae but the flip side of that is he was also closer to being the player he would be at his best. Luke is pretty much the same player he was his rookie year statistically, whereas you see trae getting noticeably better and better each year.

It is not a great roster for sure, but Lukes role in that is not insignificant. FAs aren’t lining up to play with him that is for sure. Nobody is saying trade me to Dallas either.

I just posted this in the overrated stars thread:

quote:

Trae Young

Quite possibly the worst defender in the NBA. He's supposed to be an incredible 3 point shooter right?

6 years in the NBA. 3 point percentages of 32%, 36%, 34%, 38%, 33%, 37%. League average is usually around 35-36%.

So he's a terrible defender and an average to above average shooter that takes anywhere from 8-10 threes a game. Pretty good assist numbers but he averages over 4 turnovers per game


I thought Trae Young was pretty good until I saw his career numbers. Probably the biggest phony set of numbers I've seen for how good this dude is talked about being.

Luka is better than Trae but overrated himself.
