Ball protection, the ability to absorb contact and finish, his midrange improved. He was money on that baseline out of bounds play in the midrange.
His defense and 3ball took a nose dive off a cliff.
What's funny is, I've already heard the narrative that the reason Trae was so bad defensively was because he had to carry the offense.....sounds familiar, same can be said about Dennis.
Then again if the Hawks are deliberately trying to lose games, why give a hoot on defense.
