You don’t think Trae you replicate the same success as Murray if he was conditioned to play how Murray does?
Not nearly as good at diving to the basket, and Jokic finding cutters is a big part of Denver’s gameplan
What makes you think Trae could be “conditioned to play” like Murray?
Certainly not on defense
Jamal Murray ain’t doing much on that end either
It's still better than Trae. There are a lot of really bad defenders who are still better than Trae.
Not at all true. But I don't expect a 76ers fan to actually be able to identify real defense.
he did a job at points during the playoffs, and it was largely thanks to his matchip comparative size/physicality. there are levels to bad defense, and jamal murray vs trae young is probably the perfect example of that
He’s not a shutdown defender, but he’s long and strong as hell. He may not be locking up, but you aren’t getting easy buckets on his head.
