How is he overrated if everybody dislikes him 💀

7:21 how is trae overrated when everyone says hes overrated? Doesnt really make since. Trae is literally elected "most overrated " in the nba player poll damn near every year

He needs to be in a structured organization with defensive studs around him. The Heat would be a great fit IMO.

The 1 year he had a component and healthy roster they almost made the finals

The Trae Young hate needs to stop fr. “Oh he’s a bad defender” he’s 6’0 and built like a stick, “Oh he’s inefficient” he’s 6’0 and built like a stick “Oh he can’t finish at the rim” again he’s 6’0 and built like a stick. Hes giving you 28 ppg on solid efficient while also adding a boost of playmaking to any team he’s on. His deficiency as a player are out of his control when your built like him you can only do so much

If you have to choose between Dejounte Murray and Trae Young, you'd be crazy not to choose Trae Young. People have completely forgotten just how good Trae was before DJ joined the Hawks.

There is really a minimum height requirement to be a good defender in the NBA. Imagine if Caruso was taller. Trae is simply too small even if he gave 110%. He has to be surrounded by elite defenders.

Trae Young right now is what KAT was in like 2018-2019. A guy who puts up good numbers on a bad team and can't get it done in the playoffs. But people treat him like he's a franchise player when he's not which is why people think he's overrated. Just like KAT, Trae is a 1B type player not a 1A even if he gets 1A treatment.

Not a hawks fan but this is crazy, if he was in a really good defensive team he would flourish.

He’s a star u be having some crazy Trae takes😂 love the channels tho

Trae Young is an offensive engine by himself. Get a good backup PG and then everyone else should be a rim running big or 3/D. Then they'd be fine.

Thank you! I've been saying for a while that Young's hype and success comes from the league trying to make him the next Curry. The guy only takes 30 percent of his shots within 10 feet and is always amongst the league leaders in free throws.

Great take as always Jamal! The league is changing and we're seeing less value placed on offense-only players. It's happening on multiple teams throughout the league - for Bulls fans, it happened with Zach Lavine, and it's happening with Trae Young too. Trae is a very talented offensive player, that's a true statement. However, that's just not enough in an evolving league where mismatches are so heavily targeted and defensive liabilities are abused, particularly in high stakes games and playoff series. When Trae was injured, the Hawks came in and rocked the Bulls with fast pace, ball movement, and team play. When Bulls fans heard Trae was back for the play-in, they rejoiced, because they knew it would equal a dub, and it did. Sure, his offensive talent is valuable, and maybe in the right situation he could continue to impact winning at the rate that some people expect. But right now, I would argue that he's a net negative - he's one of the league's worst defenders, and while offensively talented, the poor shot selection and high usage reduce that offensive impact and that's why you end up with a situation where the Hawks play better and more cohesively as a unit as soon as he exits the lineup. The era of offense-only superstars is slowly fading away. The only offense-only players who can claim the superstar title are the absolute top echelon of players in the entire world (KD, Jokic, Luka, etc.). Two-way players are the future of the superstar - Giannis, Embiid, Tatum, Wemby, SGA, etc. - this shift is slow, but it's definitely happening, and seeing players like Trae Young/Zach Lavine's stocks at an all-time low is evidence of it.

This is why athletes are often advised not to read media outlets, i'm not even getting into it... If watch them again and again means they're doing something that is both enjoyable to watch, and different. The boy is no doubt a franchise player, but being the NBA there are a good few that just go about the business spectacularly too, but for my money he is All-Star material without a doubt.

I just don't understand why they won't put the right players around him instead of allowing him to go to a team that has players that he can win a championship with. Dumb ownership and GM. You shouldn't use the word "overrated" or underrated on no player. It's takes a team to win a championship. Comradery win championship.

He should've been on the bench under Steve Kerr learning the ways of the Curry Master.

Murray is a cone of a defender if u watch the games he doesn’t try on that side

The hawks going to the conference finals was such a fluke

No one wants to see a fully healthy Trae young

Your point about two star points on the floor at once not making sense is why I didn't much buy Scoot to the Hornets last (nothing against Scoot). I don't know that Trae is overrated more than he needs a better system and roster fit.

If you're a Hawks fan its simple... stop listening to haters and clowns, enjoy your team, move on with life ❤

The Magic are a team I'd keep an eye on, they can't even score 90 points rn and desperately need some shooting. I'm thinking Isaac, Cole Anthony, Gary Harris, and picks for Young. I could also see the Magic throwing a bag at Klay this offseason as well.

Just found out about your channel, I enjyo the way you talk about things, no unnecessary emotional stuff :) Anyways I never liked the word overrated, because people spin it so far all the time :D But I feel like Trae unfortunately makes the team look less alive, more stagnant and him and DJ have literally almost no synergy at all. Agreed with your points and I am anxious to see how this all ends :)

The media and you are blind. To what it takes to win. Forcing Trae to pass the ball instead of shooting cause him to force passes. Luka and others are allowed to play their game and don't play defense when they are not forced to play defense. You can win a championship with the right players around him. Let Trae be respected as the all-star he is in the locker room and in the game. He is the only real all-star on the team. DJ reserve all star don't count. Trae 3 team NBA stats can change with better players around him.

I don’t think overrated is the right synopsis towards his career. Trae was always an elite second option due to his height anyways, but Atlanta NEVER gave him an elite BIG man. Even if him and Murray worked out better as a duo it wasn’t gonna be enough. Trae has shown he can be impactful in the right situations but he’s always been a number 2 for Championship contenders

I would trade Young just because he has more value

If he gets traded to the Lakers and Lakers somehow keep vando,reddish,tp,wood,hayes,dinwiddie and they get buldenholzer as the new coach that's a championship if they remain healthy. Possibly sign otto Porter jr to a vet min. Lakers starting 5 would be Trae,TP,Bron,Vando, and AD. Bench would be Dinwiddie, Reddish,otto Porter jr,Wood,Hayes.

Trae Young is the guard version of Ayton, his game has not change when he was a rookie

Hey man! Do you have any idea how expensive hair plugs are!? Trae Young does and that's worth missing the playoffs lmao No, your right, it's just the Hawks are in a hell of a spot because if they move on Young what could they get for him really? 3 first rounders? But, to who and why? I mean you would create a Lillard-Bucks problem on any team you trade him to (probable worse). The Magic is the only team that might be able to survive his deficiency, but still.

You’re not lying… I’d trade him for Jimmy Butler & a couple first rounders. With the first pick & FA around the corner something can really be built atm

Hawks should've just kept Luka man....

my god never talk about basketball again

His team is not worse when he’s on the court. You’ve not looked at the cast around him or the second unit that can’t keep leads when he leaves the game. Do better in your research before regurgitating bs sports media speaks.

Iverson situation. Small guy, big numbers, inefficient, one good lucky run and everyone thought he was good.

And they say Trae = Luka 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Trae young is Boston Celtics Isiah Thomas not Chris Paul.

Saying the Hawks played better with Trae out just shows you were not watching those games. It was bad

and yet made the ECF. ill take overrated over properly rated.

Trae better than most pgs

Don't ever talk about my Pookie like this again 😡

He's a star, stop it

Someone needs to show this dude's the Hawks net/offensive/defensive rating when Trae is on the court vs. when Dejounte is on the court. No idea why you'd say they're better without Trae or when he's not on the floor because it's the complete opposite. You're spreading misinformation.

THIS GUY DOESNT KNOW JUST HOW GOOD TRAE YOUNG IS

25ppg and 10apg and you're considered overrated? You're a bandwagon.

28 & 10 is overrated when you have practically nothing around you? Bro, stop following stupid narratives 😂

The statistics on Trae young does not show accurate statistics. Trae does not play well during the times opponents were in their territorial basketball court. Lakers playing in la and their star player is James let Bron. Of course Trae can not play well. it is centers team mates of Trae who should all be ban from nba. The tall players were not playing well with pre meditations. The tall players planned not to play well and planned to have it all blamed on Trae young. Emill.

Young thinks he's Steph/ AI. But he's more like D'Angelo Russell

Vocês não entendem nada de basquete, simplesmente ignoram o contexto merda em que ele está inserido!

He’s a fraud

Trae Young is Atlanta's Monta Ellis

Trae Young is the worst defensive player in the NBA. He is not and has never been a "super" star. He is a good, top 20 offensive player, but overall he is a below average player given he make his four teammates far worse as they all have to cover for him defensively. Add in his mediore shooting the past few years, what EXACTLY is special about Trae Young? He should be a sixth man, so when (not often) he's hot shooting, he can bring a team back from a double-digit defecit. The Murray trade failed and while I wasn't against it, it sure seemed to be a BIG overpay for another non superstar player. The Hawks need to full rebuild, try to get back a couple of first picks for the two players and find real NBA PG that can play on both ends of the floor. If they have to choose between them, it's an easy choice, trade Young to another chump team that sees his occasional slick pass or 30' three point shot, only to ignore the horrible defense and overall poor shooting numbers.

Wow the top assist guard in the league is overrated and they defensive never improve those numbers were misleading at the most

Look at all the crybaby Trae Bae's running up the check for a video they don't like lmao

Trae is a star, and I think that it's unfair to put all of the Hawks' struggles on him. However, he is nowhere near good enough to lead a team to prosperity. The question is, who or what will they get for him if they do trade him? The Hawks' front office doesn't have a glowing record with trades. Also, Idk about building around Murray. Despite the positives that you mentioned about his impact, he isn't that much better than Trae. They should consider trading both.

How is he overrated but got farther in the playoffs then Luka😂😂😂😂

A terrible take

Trash take for sure

agreed

you used the word superstar to describe trae young multiple times in this video. that is a word he is nowhere near deserving. he is a good player with some severe deficiencies. he isnt well rounded at all. a few skills he excels at with many others he struggles to do. he is one of those players like harden or embiid or chris paul who will give you great numbers and stat pad their whole career but never win anything no matter who you put around them. he is a guy that belongs on bad to average teams to give their fans a reason to turn up and watch the game so the hawks are the perfect spot

Never have been impressed by volume scorers who take a zillion shots to get it. Scoring 30-35 is only good when your under 25 shots snd do it efficiently. Scoring 35 with 30 shots is trash. 43% garbage i see all the time. Also player shave their numbers inflsted because rheyre rhebonly good player on the team so they have the green light to take 40 shots. Like harden in houston or beal in nwashington.. of course they look good they take all the shots snd sre the only decent player on the team. But in reality theyre just sbove average and not a superstar..

he'd make such a perfect 6th man

Bulls betta also hi bulls central

If i was ATL I would not build around him. Hes a flashy role player who cant play D. Hes to small to just use his size on defense to make up for his lack of prowess on that end. He makes questionable mistakes often. He scores like he does because who else is going to do it on that team. He would be better on a team with a bigger guy whos gonna drive the team. He can ride shot gun tho lol. I think Spurs or Magic would be better for him. Atlanta needs to much for him to be a winner there. If he wants to win hes gotta go from the hawks. Hes not a bad player he just has to many weaknesses to make him that guy
