CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted May 25, 2018 I'm open to Young and can also see the downside to Young. But a lot of people who are totally pro Trae here don't really seem to have much of a counter for a lot of the genuine criticisms thrown his way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want a pg as much as anyone, and I was calling for EP’s head to roll for years. However, I watched Young... almost every game in 2018. I saw him shut down by one-on-one physical defenders consistently, saw him be a chucker from basically mid January on, and watched him play virtually no defense. I really think there are two things happening here: 1. Bias thru comparison 2. Bias thru need In my book, Young has a very serious uphill battle to being a starting pg in the NBA. I guess you didn’t see him score 28 on Jevon carter. Arguably the best defender in college. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you watch the video of Jay Williams talking about Trae? This is my opinion on his athletic concerns. He can’t run a 40 fast or can’t do the shuttle run. Who cares. Put a ball in their hands and let’s see who is quicker. I bet Shumpert put up great athletic numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So your opinion is just Jay Williams opinion? Sounds smart. We're not comparing him to Shumpert. We're comparing him to Kemba Walker, Chris Paul, Steph Curry etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you serious? This comment proves my point. You are choosing to look at a specific point rather than the whole horizon. Edit: Do you and the other Young fans recognize that Young shot in the 20% to 30% range for 12 out of his last 20 games? I mean that’s really concerning, right?

You can tell your friend Young is the only player in the history of basketball to lead D1 in both points and assists. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
