A pure one-way player with absolutely zero defense, playing really soft in these more physical games. Had 10 TO last game, but it's more that he is unable to manipulate defenses as a PG that is the troubling part, and lack of defense. He is a fantastic one on one attacking force in iso situations. However, once he is trapped in difficult situations with good help defense that knows how to make complex movements and switches, he doesn't have the skills to manipulate the defenses to commit to wrong places and movements and doesn't anticipate those movements by the defense to exploit the holes that will appear. The team needs to carry him for too many stretches. He is able to however explode at any moment with his offensive game, and this series is far from over as Atlanta is a great team overall, but the worrying part is Trae's omnipresent inconsistency that has been there since he entered the league. You never know what you get.
Wow !! Way to crap on Trae Young. Don't you think Miami's scheme has a lot to do with his struggles? Also, Atlanta is not the same team they were last year, and they just lost Capela for probably the series. A lot of what they do is predicated on the Trae Clint P&R. Not having him hurts, and Collins just came back from injury. A lot of variables going on here. As far as his D, what really great small scoring guard was a good defender? Iverson? IT, during his run in Boston ? They all are hidden on defense. I just think you're being a little harsh on Trae, and not giving Miami credit for how they are defending him. But more probably than not, you're going to hear from him before the end of this series.
