  1. I did a bit of a deep dive on Trae.
    People dismiss him for his 43% fg% by having zero clue or context. He's shooting 38% on threes which make up almost half of his total shots.
    And about 35% of Trae's shots are between 3 to 16 feet, which he makes at a very impressive 45% clip. Even his long midrange shots he makes at a 47% clip. Of course if you only take 12% of your total shots in the restricted area, your fg% will suffer.

    Dude is an elite shooter and playmaker. There's a reason they made a run to the ECF.

  2. What impressed me most in this highlight packet is @0:30 which reminded me of Steph. He probably worked on that shot this past offseason with Curry. More of this and he'd become even deadlier!
