Is he though? 2 of them play far better defense than him and at least Trae is a really good 3 point shooter in addition to putting up similar numbers a night. I don’t think the gap is far at all until Luka becomes efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know why he shoots them right? Same reason my superstar shoots them 6 times a night at low percentage. He does it to keep the defense honest. Doesn't matter if they go in. It makes it easier for him to use his strengths and get inside with the threat of the 3. Luka's the reason you guys are even relevant right now.

11sanchez11 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think Trae would be pretty easy to make inefficient/ineffective in the playoffs, unless they get a big man that teams won't switch smaller players onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja's a rookie and SGA...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you hate Jim Haren? Or is that someone else? Sure but majority of Harden’s playoff career (with Houston) is 30-35 points on 37% shooting type numbers and 6-7 turnovers a night. That’s what I fear Luka will be, but unlike Harden, Luka can’t shoot free throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae will never sniff the playoffs unless it's as an 8th seed at 37-45 in the East. Empty stats all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I can honestly think is that he’s not in shape or athletic enough, especially once the 4th quarter comes around, so he settles for that. At least your star shoots 65% most nights and is al all world defender. Luka has struck me as a more selfish, stat whore this year, and I absolutely hate it.

I'm just saying, without the ability to keep the defense honest, your strengths will shrink as a primary ball handler. Luka's fine. He's not even 21 yet. Find me another 20 year old that can take up that burden of carrying an entire team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll have 5-8 nights from 3 but that almost always turns into 2-10, 4-13, 2-9 performances the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
