- Despite getting off to a poor start shooting the ball this year, with their new look roster Trae Young's high-volume shot creation and playmaking have been on full display. But just how good is he on that end of the floor right now? And can he one day become the best offensive player in the NBA?

I think Trae is personally already in the top 5. I have him over KD due to the sheer playmaking gap and Lebron due to his shooting. I think the top 4 is between Trae, Luka, Steph, and Jokic. They’re all super close to each other.
You crazy, i love Trae Young but i don’t even think he is better than Ja offensively, let alone KD and Bron lol. Lebron literally shoot almost as well as Trae Young, Lebron shot 35% on 8 attempts last season, Doncic shot 35% on 8.6 attempts, and Lebron was 3rd in the league in efficiency from logo range, just behind Trae and Luka, so he is a good shooter just like Trae and Luka i don’t know why people still think Lebron is a bad shooter it’s not 2010 Lebron even shot 40% in 2013 something Trae or Luka never did.
Also KD is at his peak in term of playmaking, he had a career high in assists last season and if you watch him he really became an above average playmaker, not elite like Trae but still very good like a Donovan Mitchell or Tatum, so no way Trae is better than KD offensively.
And i didnt even mention the fact that Bron and KD alreadyproved that their is no scheme, no defender, no team that can stop them, if they play well they are almost unstoppable, Bron is 6´9 260 and is still one of the fastest, strongest and bouncy player in the league, and combined with his amazing vision, reflex and touch he can make any passes and finish against any defender.
And KD is 6´11 with a 7´5 wingspan, most efficient midrange shooter in the league, great 3pts shooter, has very good handles and is still very quick and agile despite his injuries and age so same as Lebron when he play well and his shot is falling there is nothing you can do to stop this man from scoring 30, in his worst serie ever against the Celtics at full strength in round 1 without injury he still averaged 26.
So no Bron and KD are still in the Top 5. For me it’s 1- Jokic 2- Lebron 3-Curry 4-KD 5-Luka or Giannis.
@@Anthonydu01630 You think Ja is better OFFENSIVELY than Trae? Lmfao Trae averaged 30 and 9 in his second season while Ja was putting up 20 and less assists. Come on fam.
@@Yute01 Ja has better numbers in the playoffs tho
@@RobertJohnson-yl2bk Trae led the entire NBA in points and assists, that's way more games and a better estimate of long term dominance
@@hegeliandianetik2009 traes production always has a massive fall off in the post season. Jas on the other hand always increases by a lot. Sure trae dominated in the regular season but he was also just carrying a bigger load cuz his team sucked. No telling what his numbers would look like on a winning team.
Great analysis! I agree that he has latent value off the ball that just needs to be tapped into with that quick release and all time range.
Dude i love your videos
Appreciate that!
another excellent analysis
Appreciate it
Right now Curry and Jokic are the clear top 2, but Trae is right there competing for #3 with Luka and maybe even pushing for #2 if Curry starts to slip with age
Can't give him that becuase in playoffs jokic and Luka stay at the same level trae has not.
@@ubadman1 If a player's entire playoff career is defined by their most recent series against a great defense than KD is also a bad playoff performer
Curry not Durant is better that him but he's the most lethal shooter but is only an ok playmaker or slightly above average
@@eastons1687 Durant hasnt been better than Curry since 2014
@@eastons1687 Steph Curry is literally the best playmaker in NBA history, pure passing and playmaking are not the same thing and even as a passer Curry is much better than KD
Trae is #1 considering his stats and his size.
ma boi Trae lookin hot this early season !!! lets go Trae !!! make your card prices even higher
Great video special player
Appreciate it
This kind a video Is good for Nba coaches. But there Is something that we never can teach , love for the game and the art of doing It . Trae have all skill love passion , art in motion!
He can if he gets that off ball movement down to a T and can even improve his shooting just a bit more
I have a suggestion: can you make a video on the decline of Anthony Davis since 2020 I’ve yet to see anyone cover how much he’s dropped (specifically his jumpshot) would love if u took this into consideration
Duly noted!
I think there's a misconception that his jumpshot "dropped off". 2020 was the only time he was ever a good jump shooter, he wasnt a good one on the Pelicans and he hasnt been sense, that seems like more of a 2021 Randle fluke season than an actual talent he had and then fell off from
@@MikeTheNBAGuy I disagree, from 2015-17 AD had elite mid range shooting numbers on absurd volume, it wasn't until he started upping the volume of his 3s that he seemingly lost it all.
@@HoopVenue You're right, and I should specify. His 3pt shooting is what I meant because generally when people say someone is a great shooter, they mean from 3, and I often hear AD fans specifically call him a good 3pt shooter because of his 2020 bubble performance
Can’t see him leaping Luka or Jokic. Too much physical deficiencies. A better or more offensive minded coach is the only way he could get that title.
♥️♥️♥️♥️traeyoung♥️♥️♥️♥️
I think Jokic Luka curry Kd & Bron are better offensively. What do U think ?
Those are the big 5, would also throw Dame in there at around the same level. I can see an argument for him to be as high as 4 and as low as 7.
@@HoopVenue where would u rank Kyrie Offensively? who are the guys you’d take over him definitively?
top 5 for sure. not better than luka jokic or curry
Well to be fair he averaged more points assist and better fg then luka this is last season only way luka is better at offensive if u take rebounds into account
Do Luka doncic
I'm a Hawks fan for over 46yrs and I wish that we would've kept Luka. Young is amazing but Luka is a generational talent.
Simple, no.
No cuz he’s short
So is curry
@@NewwxNeww ye and he ain’t da best
Yeah Luka does all that but better. Also not as quick but more dominant & bball IQ+
who asked?
Not really. Trae is the better passer/playmaker, shooter, and getting to the line/shooting ft. I will give though that Luka is the better scorer, but generally they’re really close.
@@sakethgudla4028 how is it that Trae has never been in the MVP discussion last year and Luka has then?
@@SamuelBlackMetalRider I was strictly talking about offensively. But if U want to get into that well than Trae individually has been playing at an mvp caliber level but the supporting cast around him isn’t consistent enough and is way too injury prone. Plus he gets genuinely disrespected by the media and fans.
@@SamuelBlackMetalRider people hate on trae Derrick rose had more mvp votings then him
