RedDawg#8 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Trae's official measurements have him taller than Kemba, Lowery, and FVV. But that goes against his narrative so we have to pretend he is Isiah Thomas out there 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae is like 6 ft and ballin like a mother True but height matters. Not being greedy but what if Trae was 6'3 & dunking like Morant on top of what he already does? Just saying height matters a little in basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guys his size cant dunk like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes teams really do outsmart themselves. "Man he's an amazing shooter...Yea but his arms are short, that's a no go." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...I think its more about perception on the defensive end....Jimmy Butler also has short arms and hes a good defender..

I wanted to say 6'7/6'8 like LaMelo but the whole point was. Height matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a tremendous lateral athlete and he's big for his position. He's more like Okoro. JC does have lateral ability like Trae but it's their instincts on defense that's lacking bad! Trae's case is extremely bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are being naive if we think Trae's defense is suddenly going to dramatically improve. But at least now we can mix and match. Probably even do offense/defense at the ends of games in certain situations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I need to see from Trae is for him to be consistently engaged and giving a consistent effort and energy on defense. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillent Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 If Cam is Giannis height with Cam skills then we won't have to worry about Trae's defense. We'll be more worried about who is our big 3? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
