With Trae on the court, the Hawks have an Ortg of 113.9. With him off, it's 89.4.  Not saying this is all on Wright.. Just sayin....

Extremely small sample size though

I'd much rather give Jalen the minutes being wasted on Hobo Hill.

I get it, let's see the brand new toy and let him develop. 

Jalen has NOT been good defensively in the minutes he has played.  What I don't want are his teammates getting frustrated with him for missed defensive assignment like they got visibly frustrated with Bruno at times last year.  His time will come.

HURRY BACK GALLO!!!

Lou with 2 steals and a block.  The mark of a truly elite defensive squad is getting the non-defenders to get up into people.  Leggo.

He does everything outside of shooting well. He also does a lot of little things. He can play on or off the ball. He's constantly moving in little spaces opening up the game for others. He's a massive reason our 2nd unit has been a major plus every game this year. He's a much better player than even I thought he was. For a modern PG, he's not that but he's what I call a versatile PG who adds a lot of positive value. He's not an average at everything type like Shelvin Mack and Brandon Goodwin. He's really good at a lot. What he's good at might not be massive to PGs but it is to impact. That's where we need him to be massive at.

True dat.  He creates great angles for his team and cuts them off on defense. His herky-jerk, start-stop style is quite confusing to opponents.  He ain’t +19 on the season for nothing.  With his high IQ I would’ve expected him to pass up every three he’s taken for better team looks; maybe get off the ball and cut back door or set someone up to draw a foul.  He can’t even hit rhythm threes like Dieng-a-lang.

Imma need Wright to get a haircut though every time I see him I think of The Color Purple.  Celie head ass boy.
