A gifted scorer and passer that struggled with shot selection and overconfidence his whole career. Yes I have seen Marbury. I’m stripping him down to what he was not his exactly game style.
you tripping od & ain't no way around it

lil.penguin ain't nowhere close to starbury

there's plenty other tiny chuckers you could've chose from

maybe a swaggless version of dana.barros is more accurate

:mjlol:

How does Trae look taking it to the basket? I only watched few minutes of Grizzlies/Jaren Jackson first game, summer league games usually make me want to stab my eyes.

A lot of people don't take into account Curry's ability to get by his man and finish at the rim. His layup game is crazy but people tend focus mostly on his long range threes.

He’s gotten to the basket easily can’t finish

Bruh I feel ya. The play so far has been horrendous smh. Its hard to get a gauge on the top picks becuz they have to play with scrubs

But I saw improvement from Trae in the 2nd game. He was making sum nice driving layups. I'll try to find a video for u

There's nothing to timestamp, the entire video has that on display. If u ont see nothing else how don't u see that glaring attribute?
Because it's not there? :dwillhuh:

He's not that fast. Others have called you out on it already. You can't point to a single play where he used speed to blow by his man or create disruption.

I've said from the beginning that I love the kid's bball IQ (which is different than decision-making). He knows how to break down his man despite his athletic disadvantages, he knows how to poke and prod, throw a defender a little off-balance. He makes some good passes. But he's not very fast and he can't jump at all, and that's gonna kill him in the league.

The biggest problem I see is that they need to slow the game down as a team. No reason Trae should ever feel comfortable pulling up from that distance so early in the shot clock, that’s something they need to check now before it becomes even more of a bad habit. They need to make sure that he’s progressing thru the offense and then finding himself shots. Curry might shoot and make long shots but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him pull up that early in the shot clock unless it was on a break.

He really needs to work off the ball more also. Let other people find him open shots so he can get in a shooting rhythm, just seems like he’s forcing it to live up to his hype from what I seen.

A few good things were that he got into the lane and to the line pretty easily. He gotta learn that he either gotta shoot that floater a couple dribbles earlier or go hard and get contact. He was pretty good when he penetrated and dished tho.
