Forever Julian Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Trae Young doesnt even attempt to play defense. Any good youth coach would have benched him for this well before they got to this point. People used to make fun of Melo, but it was never this bad with him. Atlanta will never win anything with him as the centerpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) When you’re the only player on the team who can consistently score, all you have time and energy to do is score and facilitate scoring. If we had another player who was a guaranteed 25+ ppg every night, OR 2 players who were a guaranteed 20 ppg every night, AND a few guys who were at least .1xx DWS guys, Trae could put some effort into defense. But we haven’t had/don’t have that. Collins isn’t even really a consistent 20 ppg, much less 25. We need one more top-5 draft, and preferably top-2 this year. Put an Anthony Edwards or James Wiseman with Young, Hunter, and Collins and we have something special for the next 5-8 years. And Trae wouldn’t have to feel like he has to score 40+ every night for the team to stand a chance.
