John Collins, Amare Stoudemire with range and defense
Trae - more Steve Nash with his vision and passing. Iverson was a great funisher at the rim Trae isnt. Terry not the passer Trae is.
Spellman - Green
Heurter - Mike Millee or Gordon Hayward.
I just don't get the Trae/Nash comparisons, except that Trae said he wanted to be more like Nash than Curry.
Nash was a pass first PG; Trae is a ball-pounding, shoot first PG.
Nash was an elite efficiency shooter; Trae will have to work a lot if he wants to achieve the 49/43/90 career of Nash.
If passing and vision are the only things that make the two comparable, we might as well compare Trae to Kendall Marshall or Isiah Thomas or Kevin Johnson.
I agree that Prince is already ahead of DMC.
Trae said Nash was his idol growing up snd patterned his game after him. GmmM Schlenk said one of the reasons he liked Trae was his ability to make quick reads from the PnR and make that play with either hand. The scoring burden will not be on Trae like in OKC so hopefully his decision making can improve.

A passing savant, yes!
