Hawks have given up 125+ points in all his games this year and have a current 129 drating with him on the court - 114drating without him according to bball reference. Offensively they have a +6 orating with him but doesn't make up for the bad defense. Hard to call Trae a ball hog when he led the nba in assists last year and is 3rd all time in APG behind John Stockton and Magic Johnson but every hawks game with him is a track meet.
Well, that's how is viewed around the league.
Last season was 2nd for time of possession and 3rd for touches in the league, he has poor off-ball skills and he's kind of useless without the ball in his hands. Great passer but he's also a TOV machine (I mean he's the all-time leader in TOV per game with 4.2)
