WTH is happening to Trae Young

[PeliKhan]

This dude was balling last year, and the start of this season.. but he currently has 4pts in like 30mins vs the Jazz. He's been straight ****** since Nash called him out. I don't actually watch ATL games, but I find this very interesting, so I was hoping someone here could tell me what's going on???

Being exposed?

Collins hurt his feelings

I'm not kidding, but I think Steve Nash hurt his feelings.

Prior to the Brooklyn game this year, Trae was averaging 34/4/7 on 53/42/91 splits.

Then he goes into the Brooklyn game and Steve Nash, who Trae has publicly called the GOAT before, the guy that Trae claims he based his entire game on, looks at his play and says ''that's not basketball.''

Since then, Trae is 19/3/9 on 36/23/82 splits coming into tonight, and then tonight's another hideous box score to add to that.

They need Lonzo. Make it happen Griff.

Lonzo and Melli for Snell and a second perhaps

Not out of the realms of possibility

Wasn't his comment in regards to how he was drawing fouls and not necessarily his game?

His play has to do with Collins calling him out

Drawing fouls is a huge part of Trae Young's game. You can't say criticising his foul-drawing tactics isn't criticising part of his game, when he's got a Foul Rate of 54.6%.

FTs account for more than 33% of Trae's scoring so far this year, and he is constantly seeking them. Criticising his absurd FT drawing tactics definitely is criticising his game.

I'm not saying that's the only factor, Collins is very probably another, but I'd be shocked if it had no impact on him at all.
