VeganFan how u doing? Thanks for being rather attentive.

Unanimous first team selection along with Luka. Not bad for a Bust.

The top 5 picks, bet that's the first time that ever happened.

To put Trae's amazing rookie season in even greater perspective, this state below is pretty ridiculous.

_________________

Trae Young was beat out for the USA basketball squad by the immortal Derrick White. Who?

The great Trae bowed out with a phony injury after became apparent that he wasn't going to make the cut.
Mind you this happened on a team where everyone from The ghost of John Havlicek to Oscar Robertson had already decided to turn it down

_________________

The next great thing was beaten out by former G-Leaguer Derrick White for a spot on a team that no one wants to play for.

Might just be time to rev up the bust talk once again.

Trae and Oscar Robertson.

The FIBA team could have used him.

All he had to do was beat out the immortal Derrick White in order to get the spot. Too difficult of a task I guess.

1-0!

This guy is good.

_________________

38pts, 9 assists, 7 boards. On good shooting. Hit two 3's from the half court Pistons logo which is not a big logo by logo standards. Should've had more assists, but some lack of finishing. He definitely got a little tired in the 4th and turned it over a few times, but then settled down to get some nice assists and a really nice and 1 layup late in the game to help seal it.


DeAndre Hunter looked really good in his debut. Cam Reddish not so much. He should go down to the G league for the season. Huerter didn't play all pre-season and looked very rusty. Collins was his usual dunking double double machine.

Jabari Parker 18 points in 23 minutes last night.

yeah he actually looked pretty good

Atlanta might be a good fit for him. Would rather see him starting somewhere but he is going to get a ton of minutes with them so it probably won't matter much.

Plus Lloyd Pierce is very good coach so he should get the most out of him.

_________________

39/9/7 with great shooting. Led his team to the win with 13 4th quarter points in 5/6 shooting.

Another great game by Young. MANY here are wrong about him.

Still early. He wore out DJ Augustine. Played great.

Markelle Fultz will be starting in about another 30 games and when he is Orlando is going to another level. Book it!

_________________

There really no reason to knock Trae anymore. Pierce has this handled. He's building an all star. Not to mention all the other parts of his team he's deftly maneuvering, mostly defensively. He's even going to make Parker relevant again.

When he makes the All Star team then i will check in. He isn't too far removed from being beat out by Derrick White. Who?

I will concede on the bust stuff. He ain't that but thats as far as it goes.

2-0!

He will get worn down but Pierce knows that's baked in the cake. This Hawks team is at best a .500 team and it's still a developmental year. Their run and Trae's run begins next year.

I've said more than once. Trae has NEVER been coached until now. That is huge in my assessment that Trae is the real deal.

Why wouldn't it begin this year ?

My boy Trae gonna be an All Star this year.

Pierce plays everybody. Literally. He's got to find out many things about what he has. It's going to take to the trade deadline and then I expect them to make a significant deal.

It's early but it seems Reddish and Hunter are pretty good at the defensive end.

I've adopted the Hawks. Pierce plus all his pieces is why. It's really interesting to me how it's all going to play out.

I was dead wrong about him
