![]() The same is not true for guards and wings. As such, they cancel each other out when playing down low or around the rim. That’s because the further you get out of the key, the more longer arms help.Īlmost all forwards and centers have an extended reach. A longer wingspan is great for shooting, but it also does wonders for steals, blocks, and rebounds.įor that reason, arm-to-body ratio is important for all NBA players, and it’s especially key for both point guards and shooting guards. No matter how tall a player is, getting a few extra inches on their reach is a big help on both sides of the court. Lauri will be 22 and Young 21 at that time.In the NBA, it pays to have long arms. Dunn will get an 8 digit extension at the age of 26. Picking Young will enables you to add a free agent, because he is rookie contract, when Lauri is eligible for an extension. Move Dunn for a player who will complement Lauri and Young. My stand was Young offers a cheaper option. You can't fall in love with a player, especially with their extension is coming up. That point guard by the way was also top 5 in steals and will probably make multiple all-defensive teams throughout his career, even if he’s not an all-star. I just don’t see why we should take a really risky point guard when we’ve already got one that averaged 13 and 6 last year in 29 minutes a game. He was actually forced to take bad shots because he needs to. The obvious game plan was to take the ball out his hands. These could factor in Trae's turnover rate. That's the highest, as I recall that article states Steph just got double 31% of the time. Trae is being doubled like 43% of the time. I will try to find that article posted in this sub weeks ago. Then you’ve also got the high turnover rate of Young and questionable shot making. My belief is he has those "intangibles" that cannot be translated in metrics. I am not a stat guy, but idk if someone can prove why he ends up with 27.4 ppg and 8.7 apg while being physically inferior. Third to seventh scorer have ppg of 10.2, 8.0, 6.8, 6.6 and 2.9. Trae was their primary scorer with 27.4 ppg and was doubled 43% of the time. ![]() What's puzzling is, he does that with their second scorer only averaging 11.9 ppg. But he do rack up almost 9 assists per game. That's where he get tons of his assists.Īs we all know, he can't break a defense due to his lack of athleticism. ![]() I'm lazy to find the vid, but Trae always look ahead in fast breaks. There's no metrics to measure basketball IQ, court vision and play making. Now both are proven champions, even with there defensive flaws.Īnd you don't see why people are critical of selecting him at 7?īecause of the intangibles I mentioned. But Kyrie and Curry came to the league the same way. His defense is something he needs to work on. If Young can develop a floater, there's your triple threat. Curry was not good at finishing at the rim, and he develop a floater. He's the terrible triple threat - small, unathletic and unwilling to play defense. If you have someone on your mind, whom you think is comparable to Trae, please comment below. It's hard to get a hold of Rubio's measurements, as he didn't join the draft combine. I researched and I found that he is 6'5 with 6'9 wingspan. I didn't include Rubio, because I can't get his accurate measurement. Both of these are what impacts the game for him. Conley has length(almost 6'6 wingspan) and relies on his athleticism. I would put Mike Conley in the exceptions, as he's skillset is different than Trae. Mike Conley, 5-11 ¾ without shoes, 6-1 with shoes, 175 lbs, 6-5 ¾ wingspan The closest to Franklin's BBIQ is I think CP3. But it would be unfair to compare Franklin's basketball IQ to Trae. Both have comparable weight and court vision. Still interesting measurements, as we can contrast his length and athleticism vs Trae Young's skillset. ![]() But Franklin doesn't shoot as efficient as the ones listed above. Though listed 6'1, Franklin has superior length and athleticism. I don't think Franklin classifies in the same catergory as Trae Young. Hands are 9½ inches long and 10 inches wide Rajon Rondo, 6-1, 175 lbs with 6-9 wingspan. ![]() Here are a few successful players, that has comparable measurements and skillset to Trae Young. I'm really curious as to why people single out Trae's measurements, as the main reason for not succeeding in the NBA. ![]()
