Yet I keep hearing - winning matters when it comes to our guy?

I was curious to see how many followers the Instagram accounts have. LaMelo has over 10 million followers.
Instagram Followers:
Brunson less than 900k
Donavan Mitchell 3.8 million
Trae Young 5.1 million
Dame 10.2 million
LaMelo 10.3 million

Don't care about fan voting. Many of those voting are very casual and will always go with the name
Don't really care about AS game or player awards. Too subjective in the selections. Shame that players money is tied to these subjective votes

It's disappointing that Trae Young didn't make the team but his game needs to be consistent. Shooting 40% from the field and all the turnovers kills us.

If you think that is what 'kills us' you haven't been watching closely enough.
What kills us - no real depth, we went into last season with no backup PF, yet here we are again - something at PG.
The guys who are supposed to be the 3pt shooters - aren't.
You know why his TOs are up the last few games? Look at who he's playing with, guys aren't ready for passes or just not in the right spots. Trae passes to where he expects you to be like a QB to a receiver.
Other players are playing with other allstars - where is his Allstar.
Love what Vangundy said....

Trae has the same assist/turnover ratio as MVP Nash, but Nash was shooting 50FG% and 40% from three.

Yup, we all notice the lack of depth, but Trae is also at fault for his turnovers. You can justify his turnovers and poor shooting all you want.jayu70 wrote:HMFFL wrote:It's disappointing that Trae Young didn't make the team but his game needs to be consistent.

The refs sucking on their whistles doesn't help.

No excuses or trying to justify, but context and circumstances matter. And until the Owners get real serious about resources for a real team - it's rinse and repeat.

Jalen Johnson being out only exposes many things.
Things can go back to being positive if Quin can find a guy to step up. I would like to see Zacch be that guy but it's difficult to rely on a 19 year old.
In a couple of weeks we'll see where Jalen's 15 attempts per game go.
