As of 2021β¦Hereβs my scorecard:
Trae>Luka by razor 🪒 thin marginsβ¦
-
There are 2 Athletes who are completely unique to their respective sports: Lamar Jackson QB of the Baltimore Ravens NFL fame and Trae Young PG of ATL Hawks fameβ¦
-
Lamar is a threat to score on every play during a possession. RPOβs (Run-Pass-Option). It seems rather simplistic until you have to dig into the weedsβ¦
-
Trae Young is the best PG in the NBA at KPOβs (Kick-Penetrate-Option)β¦Russ is the greatest triple double threat of the 21st century and has a mature gameβ¦CP3 also not as aerial gifted like Trae, has Book, an elite combo guard and Ayton, a RRR (Run-Rebound-Roll) Frankensteinβ¦Luka is a 6ββ8 virtuoso yet, heβs half a foot taller than Trae and finished almost a full assist behind himβ¦
-
He can run KPOs going North to South and East to Westβ¦he can create different options based on his speed and creativity
-

Hey, Sean. I think Trae is greatly unappreciated but if they were to re-draft that class, there’s noboby who wouldn’t take Luka #1 based on what we’ve seen from him. I also think there’s no way the Hawks would make that trade for Trae if given a second chance.
-
-
Hindsight is given more weight than hindsightβ¦by that logic Nash and Kobe should have been taken ahead of A.I. β¦
-
-
Young got the Hawks to an ECF and took the champs to 6 games, 2 of which Young did not playβ¦Ayton was on a Finals teamβ¦
-
Re-drafting is always fun. The benefit of the time machine makes mince meat of reality. There were clearly 12 teams who would have taken Kobe in any redraft instead of #13
Not meaning to take anything away from Trae but Luka is a generational talent. Credit the Mavs for their faith and excellent overseas scouting.
My only question about Luka is he is already posting such great numbers you have to wonder whether he’s approaching his ceiling right now because his floor is so high.
I mean how much can he improve? Now Trae is nowhere near his ceiling in my mind and has a lot more room to grow. Can he surpass Luka eventually? That’s a possibility because I think he has more room to grow than Luka does.

Glen Taylor, Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez will no doubt consider all options when it comes to a permanent leader of the front office. Gupta surely is a candidate for that. https://t.co/Yp6PQMN071

Norm Macdonald, the comedian familiar to millions as the "Weekend Update" anchor on "Saturday Night Liveβ in the 1990s, has died at 61. He had a deadpan style honed on the stand-up circuit, first in his native Canada and then in the U.S. https://t.co/9WG7aaEf91 pic.twitter.com/69X7B5YmAC

Terrible alternative jersey. NBA is getting out of control in the effort to just sell stuff. Who would even think you were a Lakers fan wearing one of these. LMAO. Give me purple, gold, white, or black. The medium blue died when we left Minnesota.
