Trae Young fucking sucks. I said before the draft that he had high bust potential, but I didn't think he'd be this bad.
Dude is one of the worst defenders I've ever seen in my life at the NBA level. Like, insanely horrible.
If he doesn't turn into a 47/43/90 guy on offense, then I can't ever see him being anything more than a microwave off the bench for a decent team. He's really, really bad right now.

So defensively on the Steve Nash Defensive scale, where does her rank 1-10?
Rating Trae Young will probably require using the Jose Calderon defensive scale.

Nash was at least as bad of a defender than Calderon if not worse AND won 2 MVP's which is criminal imo.
At least the voters fixed the issue last year on voting in an awful defensive player tp MVP (yes that is sarcasm)
If I'm a Hawks fan I would be killing myself over Luka. It would be like us picking Darko over Lebron. Shit sets you back years.
Yeah if you traded back to get Wade, maybe you would still be happy at least for the first 6 years of their career. But trading back to get Darko damn. It's rough.
That First Atlanta game with Sexton and Trae I was worried. No longer. Sexton will likely be good. Glad I don't have to worry about Trae and whether his shooting gets better or if he can ever defend for the next 3 years.
Even if Trae still looked better as of now, it's not like we chose Sexton over him. ATL chose Trae (and 2019 lottery-protected 1st) over Luka. Ouch.
