He's a rookie. Can't say Luka coming off a sharpshooter is such a great idea either. If Trae sees Huerter open in the corner, Luka looks just as bad.
Maybe he will be able to see him and dish that pass in about 5-10 years
You mean in 5-10 secs because all he has to do is keep driving around instead of going up and it's an easy pass.

You know why.
All like “you know why “ i could say the same thing about him getting all the love from whites and hyping him like he’s the next MJ or bron

Don't feed em. Len is doing a lot more than just tip-ins and putbacks in Atlanta. He is getting more jumpers, more open 3s, more post-ups. He is being asked to do a lot more. Just look at the data.

Click on the FGA, they have all of the video of the misses and makes of this season. If you look at all of his charts from last year, he barely got any touches. He was just an alley, tip-in, putbacks type of guy in PHX. The way he is used now is just more advanced. Of course he took a hit but that's what is suppose to happen. He isn't as good on hook shots as he is dunking a ball with no one around him.
Please do me a favor, if a poster is not presenting data and kinda posting things that make no sense with no context, just don't argue, just look at the data. It's available on nba.com. They got everything.

dred926 wrote:okay point taken i love luca he is better than simmons all around tbh but how much more would he improve ??? is he going to be like kawhi on defense while getting better over all.. Trae young has a lot of room to improve.. and i doubt luca will be a stud defensively ...
once trae shoots more efficient and passing he is way better than luca then its all about winning.. steve nash wasnt good defensively but he made everyone else better and if you think trae young cant do that then i rest my case...

The amount of hate i see towards Trae and the massive love for Luka, makes me wanna see Trae's words come true, even though i really like Luka and believe Luka will be a generational talent.
For context: I'm a Hawks fan, wanted Luka in the draft, and recognize Luka has been phenomenal this year and a much better player...Bob8 wrote:I see some people believe Trae will end better than Luka. Nothing wrong with that. But can somebody explain me more specifically how Trae will be better? Please take in consideration theirs bodies and defense too. Thanks.

It sucks he got sucked into a question like this which makes it seems like he made this claim when really he was just asked a question and he simply answered it. And yup, you can't really say anything about his response. What do you expect him to say?
but he could have pivoted the question though... I would have said something like I don't care about being better than luka in 5-10 years, but I care about being the best player I can be and hopefully one of the best, if not best player in the league.
