Those are just regular Trae numbers

Clearly Gabe Vincent broke the man. /s

Anyway I think he'll be fine. The way the Hawks offense is being run makes me think his efficiency will at least somewhat improve over the season.

lowering his value so he can get traeded to LA

He’s always a slow starter, the passing has been amazing as usual and we really don’t need him to carry the offensive load as much so I’m fine with it

Wait for him to be snubbed from the ASG, and watch him go off after that break.

Everyone is talking about how Trae is a slow starter but will get hot soon. I have a different take. Trae just isnt as good of a shooter as we thought he was.

I feel like he needs to drive more. He is a great finisher and is great at drawing fouls. The deep 3s may keep the defense on their toes, but they dont seem to go in very often.

Maybe he will get the touch back. He can absolutely light a team up when his shots are falling.

I mean he’s definitely been driving but he’s been missing a lot of his floaters and layups too it’s not like he’s only taking 3s or the majority of his shot is coming from 3. The shots he’s taking from 3 have been good shots too

He’s simply off from everywhere

He donated it to Dillon brooks for the start of this season, he’ll get it back from him soon

[–] PointBlankCoffee@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He's not that good at shooting. Absolute elite passer, and good at getting to the line but bit overrated with the early Curry comparisons he will likely never be elite at shooting even if he has good range.

trae has the best floater in game but he will do halfcourt 3 instead..
