Pretty funny that they listed a stat where the dude got a .7

It'll be 40% when he's at the ripe old age of 24.

Ah but it's interesting how the defensive stats just never seem to get cited. And I wonder why.

Defensive Rating 118 Yar!

https://www.basketball-reference.com/pl ... gtr01.html

Defensive BPM -2.0 Yar!

_________________

Chris Paul's Rookie Year Vorp was higher than Trae's as a 4th year player

As a 22 and 23 Year Old player Chris Paul's Vorp was nearly double that of Trae Young's at the same age.

The lowest defensive Rating in any season of Chris Paul's career was 111 (at age 35).

Trae Young has never had a defensive Rating above 116 for any season of his 4 year career.

For his career Chris Paul has a Defensive Box Plus Minus of 2.2

Trae Young's Defensive Plus Minus For his Career is -2.2. Ouch!

When Chris Paul was 22 and 23 his Box Minus was nearly double that of Trae Young's Currently. Again Ouch!


When Chris Paul.was 22 and 23 his Per was 30.0 and 28.0


Trae Young's current Per is 25.0 and Last Year it was 23.0. Mind you Trae Young's strength is offense.

Chris Paul's assist to turnover ratio for his career is 4-1. Trae Young's is less than 2 and half to 1.

Chris Paul averages 2.4 turnover's per game while Trae averages 4 per game for his career.

yea we all know what a fucking moron you are.


38.2% is not mediocre, it's high for a point guard. And it's ridiculously high for a high usage PG who is often double teamed, is game planned against every game, and probably gets less than 5 wide open catch and shoot 3pt shot opportunities teh ENTIRE SEASON.

Players below Trae in 3pt %:

STEPH CURRY (is he a mediocre shooter too?)
Lowry
Van Vleet
Donovan MItchel
Doncic
Tatum
Morant
Lillard
SGA


Starting high usage PGs ahead of Trae on that list this year:
Lamelo .389
Garland .383



Fucking idiot.

_________________

go ahead and keep comparing Trae to one of the all time great PGs. All you're doing is proving my point when you do that.



Talk to me when CP3 ever averages more than 22 ppg in a single season. The guy has 2 total seasons over 20ppg. Trae already has him beat with 3. They are on different levels offensively. CP3 great player all around obviously, but he doesn't hold a candle to Trae offensively.


Keep cherrypicking your 1-2 stats that you think supports your argument.

_________________

You keep comparing him to "all time" greats (including Chris Paul which is laughable quite frankly) thus the posting of numbers is most appropriate.

Particularly when it is all that is all you ever seem to do.

Never defensive numbers either. Regardless of what you say Trae is nothing more than a stat padding loser. I just demonstrated why it's blasphemous to constantly compare him to all time great players.

His stats are mostly the result of his having a much higher usage rate. Chris Paul never had a usage rate of more than 27% (Trae's without looking is currently at 34 or 35%) When Chris Paul had a 27% usage rate he averaged 23 and 11 and his team finished 30 games over .500

With a rather pedestrian roster to boot. In a tough as shit Western Conference. Last Year he was the most instrumental reason why a team that for years couldn't sniff the playoffs all of a sudden made it to the NBA Finals. This year that very same team currently has the best record in the NBA. At 37. That's impact.
You shit on guys like Tatum (who's much better than Trae) when all he does is lock up game in and game out against the best at his position (as he did against Durant a month ago) and either holds his own or outplays them. Wake me when Trae does something similar.

Nice. How has Trae Young been playing?

He had a better year than Carmelo Anthony.

gonna be an absolute injustice when Trae only makes 3rd team all NBA this year while guys like Ja Morant make 2nd team or higher.

Dude is heating up. Watch out.

unfortunately they will be going into the series with #1 Miami without their starting center or power forward. Trae is special, but beating Miami with Capela AND Collins could be a task too tall.

He plays a good villain, I appreciate that.

I think the dude is fun to watch. I haven't really kept up with the 500 posts in this thread but what I gather is shakes likes the guy and LTG doesn't.

He's an excellent NBA player who has deficiencies on the defensive end. That's so rare that an NBA guy isn't great at everything.

I would like to know what "True Shooting Percentage" is. I'm going to start making up stats. I should have done it in college 30 years ago and we'd all be reading the DR. KEN TRUE VALUE RATINGS.

He is a terrible defensive player. One of the worst that I have ever seen in fact.
