Game One.
14 attempts
35% shooting from the field
1/7 from three.
Not much has changed!

Nice job getting to the line Trae.

5 (2-5)shot attempts in the 1st half.
2-4 in the 3rd quarter with the last attempt with 15 seconds left in the 3rd.
Game was over by the end of the 3rd. He had 9 shot attempts.
Not Sustainable particularly if he's playing offball and not actually running the offense for assists for easier buckets. Where are these CnS opportunities?

My concern that Trae won't ever become a good shooter. Whole I don't expect him to shoot 35% from the field on the season 40% is still not good.

Four players have won both the NBA championship and the assists leader title in the same season.

Bob Cousy
Jerry West
Magic Johnson
Lebron James

Time will tell if Trae can be the 5th player to accomplish it.

38% from the field
25% from 3
Career low 2pt %
Career low in turnovers (A Positive)

Another season of not being able to shoot. If his shooting doesn't improve greatly from last season we tried winning with him and we must move on.

Trae Young's PR team has been working overtime this year.
Jordan Brand knows how to take care of their people.

Stephen Curry: Trae Young coming into the league was the first time I saw my influence on a generation

NBA RUMORS
Stephen Curry: Trae Young coming into the league was the first time I saw my influence on a generation

Q: LeBron James: When did you figure out what you're doing on the floor is transcending a whole generation of players?

A: Stephen Curry: when Trae Young came in the league and that was like the first person who they said was like the next me, even though he's a different player and I knew him when he was in high school, that was like the first time you're like one, I'm getting a little older with these kids that are watching you, who are now emulating their their game after the way that you play or like there's now expectations on said person to be you or play like you. That might be the first time I thought about it or really experienced like what the impact was. But I got that ‘you-ruined-the-game’ question all the time after Mark Jackson said it and now it's kind of tongue-in-cheek just cuz you understand there is an influence and now it's about how you can allow kids to hear the story about the entire journey and not just the finished product.

Pat should try being a family man like Trae Young is.

Agreed.

For all the valid criticisms there are of Trae Young, I never question his preparation to play or his commitment to family.

(Ironically, Trae also has a teenage sibling. I can't imagine any scenario where Trae would physically assault the kid.)

Feels like a lifetime ago.

Makes me wonder if Lloyd Pierce's offense was the one most able to maximize Trae's effectiveness.

Or if the league just caught up to him.

Most of us at the time felt he had another level to unlock. Sadly, he only regressed.
