Typical Atlanta sports. Are you being serious? I can't really tell, because the hottakes are coming in fast and ferious. He played adequate defense and his passing looked great. His shot was way off and his shot selection MUST improve. All I saw was a rookie playing like a rookie. Still with his supposed average athleticism he got to the line 10 times which is great. Declaring someone a bust after one summer league game is VERY premature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin24Williams Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Trae's handles are worse than I thought. I thought he was crafty enough to create his own shot in isolation but that doesn't seem like the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deester11 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Wow. Now Trae is garbage. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macknsweetjones Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Trae Young looked good aside from the bad shooting performance, I don’t expect that to last. He’s definitely a play maker, and he’s fast with the ball in his hand and switching directions. He was getting to the line at will. Pierce gotta let him know about his shot selection and when it’s not falling facilitate or attack the basket. 2 minutes ago, Marvin24Williams said: Trae's handles are worse than I thought.

That’s utter bullshit and you know it..he’s practically losing his defender with his handles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleachkit Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I saw defenders get into his body and able to reroute him. The film don't lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Lakers and pelicans were playing the funny money game. Boogie got mad and said alright I’ll prove it but I’m going for a championship if I have to do it.

Marvin24Williams Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yes I watched the game. The only way he was able to break down his defender was through pick and roll. Other than that players were able to stay in front of him more often than not. There was the nice behind the back dribble he did for the 3 pointer but that was about it. By no means am I labeling him a bust already, i'm just calling what I see. I thought his handles were going to be up there with Curry and Kyrie. He's still got a nice set of handles but he doesnt have the same type of shake they do when it comes to beating their man off the dribble or creating in isolation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBac Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 No need to worry about Trae, unless you're of the thought that he's a bad shooter. He was missing wide open threes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a few of those 3’s he freed himself up from the dribble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film don't lie. That's more of a lack of man strength not his handles. He's just not yet able to absorb contact and play through it. That will take time.

TheNorthCydeRises Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Trae's opening game eerily reminded me of Lonzo Ball's last summer. Lonzo was doing some of the same things offensively, like jacking up long 3s and taking shots under pressure, instead of letting the game come to him. It took a few games, but then Lonzo had the MONSTER game in which he controlled everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are comparing what you know of Curry now to Trae in his 1st 'NBA' game. What was Curry like in his SL debut? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His vision, passing ability, and defense were impressive though. He's very quick defensively especially laterally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I’m gonna be patient with Trae, he’s definitely gonna have rough games this year. That NBA adjustment ain’t easy for guards like him. But he made some smart decisions that will make for a good foundation to build on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
