How far back was this? Not a loaded question but I’m curious if it was before summer league or the draft as I was admittedly oblivious to this kid.
He was saying it draft night, IIRC. Dude was the founder of the Carsen is a steal bandwagon.

I do think he's a good enough shooter (especially from the line) that he is never going to be horrific from an efficiency stand point. But with his turnovers, shot selection and defense, ya that stuff prevents me from buying into him going to be a star one day.
Teams have not adjusted to Trae. That is a pipe dream a lot of eastern conference fans are hoping for. The Hawks have 6 returning players from the start of last seasons roster: Young, Collins, Huerter, Len, Bembry, and Carter. Trae has played more minutes with any of three rookies than two of his remaining starters in Len and Huerter. The sky is not falling and Trae Young will be fine.
You cherry picked .350 and that excluded four other months of .340, .347, .337, .337 to go along with the .437. His 2018/19 season total assist to turnover ratio was better than 2 to 1 ( 653 assist to 308 turnovers ). For a high usage rookie and primary ball handler that is outstanding. I don't know what to say to this Trae is a bust kind of talk other than you probably tasted crow last season and you will be again this season. Trae will be an All Star and star for the Hawks for many years to come. Book it Danno.
This is why it's almost impossible to talk young players with another team's fans. He never mentioned anything remotely close to him being a bust, he just said he didn't think he would be star. You can't make even the smallest criticism without there being overreactions. Anyone with even one eye can see Young has a horrible shot selection, he'll take three steps over halfcourt than launch a second into the shot clock. 34% from three isn't good either, Young just wasn't efficient as a rookie. Those are just two small criticisms, every young player has at least two.
Sherman Douglas, Bevin Knight, Jamaal Tinsley, and Mark Jackson also had at least the same assist to turnover with as many assists......

this was my point when talking to a co-worker about Trae. The kid can be a sniper if he just changed his selection and take the open looks provided by the offense. If Nash is the comp then that should be the emulation. Nash in today's climate would be ridiculous.

Hornets.
I feel like they're going to struggle to score 98ppg, where as I fee like the Cavs will just have a terrible defense but between Love, Osman, Sexton and Garland you should have some games where they have their shots going in. The Hornets are devoid of offensive talent and the ball will be in Roziers' hands way too much.
