its just one game and people already acting like he is a bust while in some homer cases if it was about our player same people would say its only 2nd 3rd 4th year ...we need to see more he is young etc he will be better..... (really no specific player in mind just saying what Ive heard on this board for years) but no
Young sucked game 1... he is a finished project a bust hahaha srsly you guys always make me smile
Him sucking now is continuation of him sucking at college. He was shooting 36% FG last month and half or so of his college career. People figured that once you pressure him with full court press he has no stamina or skills to be effective in any way. Just like people figured Lonzo can't shoot and you can go under screen 2 games into his summer league "nba career". Lonzo won MVP of summer league award despite shooting 38% FG and 23% for 3. Just like in SL, that translated to nba later.
Btw props to JJJ who menaged to commit ZERO fouls
Lonozo's was a joke, he had the one big scoring games vs i think philly with a roster that would be bad by g league standards. Kuzma was the real mvp of vegas.
I wouldn't be so harsh on trae, he made some nice plays and set up others well, got to the line well and we know his shot will eventually come good. Trading doncic for him is unjustifiable though i don't see any reality where that isn't mocked in 5 years time but still if we'd taken him at 6 i think he's a solid prospect. I'm not sad about taking Bamba though fit isn't as good but he's probably a better long term prospect
teams arent going to defend out on the perimeter. Just back off and let them shoot.
