The Jalen Johnson hype train is full-steam ahead

I am not anti Trae. Quite the opposite but we need to look at the talent level on the team and wonder why they are playing 10th seed in the East ball. I know about the depth and fit problems but it's still a team that should be playing better and Trae is on it

The problem is when Trae sits.
JJ goes down, we have no one.
Dre goes down, we have no one.
sure we can win some games here and there, but when lineups are consistently being shuffled, guys in and out, asking guys who should be playing sport 5 minutes are starting - it's a snowball effect across the entire team.

Yeah. Losing 2 starters in JC and Red and replacing them with end of benchers is tough to overcome

What skills would you guys prefer to see Jalen focusing on this summer?

I'm going:

a) mid-range shooting off the dribble
A 10-15 foot jumper prevents opposing players from backing too far off him or just packing the lane to stop him from dunking

b) on ball defense
JJ has the size/speed/strength to be a lockdown defender with more reps

Jalen can become very special if we allow him to do so. Give him more field goal attempts next season and I would like him to bring the ball up at times.
