must suck to be so wrong on this one, yet you keep popping your head in here every couple weeks cause you can't help yourself from digging the hole deeper.


He had 8 turnovers + 14 points on 11 shots either day. I know you don't get "efficiency" but he still isn't that good.



and how did he do the previous 25 games?

Did you just forget to post about those games?


Conveniently ignored just like you have ignored all his bad games this year.

His VORP was identical to Kris Dunn's. After the hot streak. Lot of the advanced stat disciples conveniently seem to omit such things whenever it doesn't fit the narrative i notice.

Both technical fouls Trae received vs Chicago have been rescinded by the league. No word yet on when I should expect my prorated refund from Adam Silver for the 2nd half of that game.

rough game for Trae, proves he's human. Awful start, 2 pts on 1/10 shooting in the first half. second half he picked it up and went 7/14 and added 20 pts to the 2 from the first.

A nice two day break before back to backs on the weekend.

yep, first ATL rookie to ever get one. He shot poorly, but made up for it from the line and then turned it up in the 4th. Back at it today vs New Orleans.

18-64 over his past 4 games. Might want to pump the brakes on his future Hall of Fame induction for now.

It may come when he develops some awareness on what is a good shot. He has a few correctable awareness problems. Good thing he's 20, huh?

His defense will never be corrected.

There are a multitude of tricks and dirty play to improve one's defense. Once a player decides to take pride at that end, improvement is bound to happen.

I like his passing. I think he can be a Rubio type, a serviceable point guard in this league.

Did you feel the same way about DeAaron Fox last year? He shot worse than Trae.

Great comparison. In 8 seasons in the NBA Rubio has shot as well as Trae has shot this year exactly one time. His career high is something like 34 points. Trae nearly hit 50 last week.



So last year did you have DeAaron fox as a bust? You must've since he shot worse than Trae and didn't have nearly the assists that Trae has had this year.

First off Fox plays defense, and secondly 312 is the Fox lover not me. So go bark up that tree.

Fox didn't play much defense last year. But, you fell right in the trap. When Trae-haters got nothing they resort to bashing a rookie PG for playing bad defense.



Asked you a simple question, did you have Fox as a bust last year since he shot worse than Trae and didn't pass nearly as well. All he did according to you was play defense.


Here's another question. Find a rookie PG who had a better rookie season than Trae is having this year. Gotta go back a LONG time to answer that (unless you consider 2nd year Ben Simmons a rookie PG)

He might be the worst defensive guard that I have ever seen. He is that bad. His decision making isn't the best either. Not just shot selection either. He also avg 4 turnovers a game. That's way too many for a guy that only avg 7.8 assists per game. Elite points with terrible shooting percentages and bad defense can't also avg 4 TOs per game.

Players with high usage who have a worse assist to turnover ratio than Trae:

Steph Curry
Dennis Smith Jr
Luka Doncic
Devin Booker
JAMES HARDEN
Donovan Mitchell
Kevin Durant
Bradley Beal

Trae was on his way to one of the best games of his career, but Coach called off the dogs and pulled him with 8 minutes left in the 4th and the Hawks up about 1000 on Memphis.

Finished with 22 points on 8/12 shooting, 8 assists and 0 turnovers.


Was hoping the coach would leave him in there longer since they were playing their only game in a span of 5 days and Trae was coming off a few off games, but I get it. Not a good look to run up the score when you're up that much.

Yep.

Not if he hits floaters. He can get them anytime he wants. That's the thing about him. 1 guy can't stop him from getting in the lane. The proof is there, and it's proven he's quite comfortable down there and there's proof he can do real damage both with the pass and the floater.
