Spud2nique Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I liked when they were interviewing Collins and asked him what he thought of Spellman. He said “he’s big and strong like me, I like him.” ? Sounded funny but I do see him in the sweet game labeled himself ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cwell Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 1 hour ago, KB21 said: One thing I hope the coaches hammer him on is his tendency to pick up his dribble when attacking the basket. He needs to go watch tape of Steve Nash. There were a lot of times Steve Nash would dribble into the paint, keep his dribble, and dribble out the other side to create something for a teammate. Like Trae, Steve Nash was not a strong finisher at the rim. Trae had a very bad pass today because he picked up his dribble and then tried to create something where there was nothing. It was said during the game he’s already reached out to Nash and has spoken to him on the phone. There’s a positive start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdunkndunk Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Cwell said: there wasn't as many dumb shots today. His percentage was only bad because he couldn't make a bunny layup to save his life. He shot amazing from 3, and didn't make a single 2. Would have easily shot over 50 percent if could make a damn layup I agree, but I’m not sure he’ll ever make above .550 in the lane in the NBA. He’s young and will improve in the lane, but I remain skeptical about his mix of below-average length and below-average athleticism in this league. I still don’t like his shot selection, either. He can make some eye-popping passes and 3s, both good and bad. Not sure his talent warrants the license he seems to have to jack up some of these shots.

benhillboy Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I think we all can agree Trae’s SL took us on a wild roller coaster ride. Just the beginning though. Much work to be done but those raw passing skills are set in stone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised Baze hasn’t appeared. I assume he has a charity or Under Armor commitment. Dennis is playing overseas correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud2nique Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 In the regular season I’d love to see this lineup for a few minutes here and there depending on the team we are playing but I think it would be crazy. Trae Dennis Baze Prince Collins Small lineup but can be lethal due to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the worst finisher at the rim of all the guards drafted. He really needs a floater, or something, anything, aside from long threes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't blow the layup, the defender tipped the ball right as it passed the edge of the cylinder. changed the shot just slightly...hard to see on the live feed but rewind it...you'll see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it’s also important for him to try and finish himself to get better at those close range ones. Still loved it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a thread about summer league and you’re the only one in here talking about Dennis. Pages and pages done went by and you pop up like “since we’re talking about Dennis...” Made a whole account around another man that doesn’t even know you exist. Probably have Dennis Schröder bed sheets equipped with the blond patch. I was born and raised in Atlanta. we can trade everyone from the team and go 0-82, I’ll still be here. I couldn’t care less about what you have to say about my squad. **** riding is not a valid form of transportation i brought up doncic, whos part of the trae story. other posters of your ilk started bringing up dennis in response to me...because well...its me...and they are who they are, just like you are who you are... and then all you got are petty insults wrapped up in fake concerns and amateur psychology but lets do this. why are you even concerned with me liking a 19 year old 6 foot 1 one point-guard from my own country making it in the nba? a rare feat. only rubio made his way like that. its an inspiring thing to me to see even small german guys can make it. and well we europeans are much more nationalistic when it comes to sports as we compete in that manner allot. so i took great joy in following dennis his journey from a third pointguard to a border line all star. and on the other hand, why ae you obsessed with following a sportsball franchise where none is from your city? where the hawks might be elsewhere located all together? whats wrong with you bro? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like others said, he like Stockton and Nash will have to master crafty and playmaking to be effective in the paint. He doesn't have Curry body control to ever finish like he does.

Trae won't fix all his flaws this summer, it'll take timevas his body develoos. All he needs to do is focus on what he does well and do those things, work on improving the things he needs to get better at and cut out the bad stuff. It took Teague 3/4 years to develop a RELIABLE floater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
