Aaron would shoot no less than 45% from downtown. Against anyone else, Aaron will shoot 4-5%.

Maybe with the folks who were saying Houston would still be far and away #2 if not compete with GSW for #1what happened to all the NTers who were saying Jazz was gonna grab the 2nd or 3rd seed in the West??

Over the last 15 games...
155 players have taken 50+ threes this season. Trae is dead last out of 155.
I know it’s still early in the season and he’s only 20 and I don’t expect it to stay that way forever, but man... gotta clean up the shot selection in the meantime.

Only made 1 of his last 25 attempts from 3It was funny to watch last night. Every time Lin would come into the game, ATL would go on a run. And every time Trae would replace him, the Celtics would go on a run. Top is Trae, bottom is Lin:
Now obviously Lin isn’t in their long term plans and Trae is. And they don’t necessarily want to win right now anyway. But yeah, if you’re Trae and you’re shooting 22.6% on threes, maybe don’t pull off the dribble 5 feet behind the line like Steph. Guy is shooting a lower % than Marcus Smart. That’s gotta be demoralizing as a teammate.
we’re officially at rock bottom with him as a jump shooter. Pierce giving him all the freedom in the world so whatever. Every other facet looks good at this stage but the long pull-up bombs are comical at this point

Deandre Ayton only getting 12 FGA per game is a damn crime. Please get this man a point guard.

Not many folks here or in the basketball community predicted the immediate impact of the new rule changes and increase in pace and shot distribution
Regardless, the way the West has panned out so far has been fun and generally unforeseen

40% on 8-10 attempts certainly doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
The million dollar question is if/when gets to that 35% range, combine that with the rest of his arsenal & is that a better/comparable player than what Doncic will be

Kings should catch more flack for passing on Luka than Atlanta should.
Plus if you’re going to evaluate that trade wouldn’t it be Luka vs Trae + whoever they draft with the Mavs pick?

I'm surprised Trae Young is shooting that bad. In the low 20's from 3, damn.

I thought most wanted Booker at PG?

If we can project him to be in the 35% range, can I in-turn project Luka to shoot 45% from 3?

With the current team's personnel, having him at PG is definitely in their best interest.
Long term, I'd like to see them have an actual PG.

I think you got to have at least 3 guys who can shoot the 3 ball at all times on the court or your ability to compete goes bye bye
Long time vets who are adapting understand that. Look at Taj Gibson who can make the occasional 3 when I've never known him to even attempt it
