Wurider05 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Right now with his poor shooting which may never improve the NBA player that he resembles the most is White Chocolate Jason Williams. He could not shoot for crap, had suspect defense but possessed good court vision. This is a the type of player he is today. I don't know if he will ever be as efficient as Steve Nash or as good as shooter as Curry, but as of right now he is the black white chocolate or would he be the half black white chocolate or the half white white chocolate? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Mule Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I heard, somewhere, that last year he could shoot the ball. Does this mean that the ability to make shots has left him? Is he no longer capable? When did this happen? Why weren't we told? If we had known that all his talent had left him, surely we would have done things differently, don't you think? Woe is us!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted October 8, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 It's still preseason of his rookie year... Let's give him some time, guys. 4 minutes ago, Gray Mule said: I heard, somewhere, that last year he could shoot the ball. Does this mean that the ability to make shots has left him?

Ok, that made me chuckle. To the comparison - I'd he prefer he just be Trae until he has a full NBA season under his belt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hot to start the season and struggled in the later parts of it - particularly once conference and tourney play arrived. Totally, on board with your first comment, though. It is laughable to say he will never be able to shoot. He was a stud shooter in college and will have to work on how to get his shot off in the NBA but I expect we drafted him thinking he would end up being a stud shooter and distributor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was one or the other... too lazy to research it. lol And people are just too impatient in this society of instant gratification to give a rookie and a rebuild an ounce of time to prove oneself... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shaking my head saying "SSS" if this was a dozen games into his NBA career but based summer league and a couple preseason games? Yeah, those mean basically nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 It’s hard watching Trae right now. Dennis (!) was muscling him in ways he never thought would be possible in the NBA. It’s so easy for defenders to get him off the ball and prevent him from catching it back, let alone get a decent shot off. Trae has baller genes though so I’ll give him a year to get it together.

Premium Member Peoriabird Posted October 8, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Didn't Trae shoot 40% from 3 in the last game? But anyway, predicting a guy's career based on a few preseason game is insane. Heck.. Chris Paul Shot 27% from 3 his 1st year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still be in violent disagreement with drawing meaningful conclusions but at least that point you are a month into real games and it is more understandable to me if someone decides to jump off the deep end. 3 minutes ago, Peoriabird said: Didn't Trae shoot 40% from 3 in the last game?

I am concerned his shooting might never be efficient enough to be a major asset. He seems like he's kinda streaky. I think he also a bit over reliant on getting cheap foul calls.

How about Super star calls. We complain when other teams with stars get them. If he's getting them, good for the Hawks, I'm not gonna complain if he's crafty enough to make the refs call fouls. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a strange thing to be mad about. It seems like some the posters on here are really nitpicking If u hate Trae just go ahead and admit it and root for another team. These aren't valid criticisms of a rookie who hasn't even played his 1st regular season game 1 minute ago, kg01 said: Yeah, these referendums on a guy's career before even playing a regular season game are .... bonkers.
