NBA- OU players and general (this thread only)

Trae should have been an All-Star this year because he leads the NBA in assists and his defense has improved. It's too bad his shooting never improved in all these years, but he has improved other areas of his game.

This. Put Trae on the Celtics or Lakers and he’s an instant all-star.

San Antonio would be a great fit for him before they traded for Fox.

I'm not sure his defense has actually improved. I know you posted that article a couple months ago where Doc Rivers said in passing that his defensive effort is better, but his defensive numbers are right in line with his career norms (slightly worse, actually). Even if he is "trying" harder, he is still bad on that end of the floor.

For all I know, you could be right...only posted what I've read about him...and it was more than one article.
