[danger style]

There’s an easy way to read all Athletic articles for free, but EYE don’t mind supporting them. Will reup my sub

 

[WASHED KING]

They put Bron in Tier 2 of their little preseason list so no.

Not supporting bad analysis.

all of it

 

[osh kosh bosh]

are we 100% sure Wemby is a True Talent Shooter?

i guess depends on what you think his true talent level is as a shooter.


I think he can get to being like a Kristaps level shooter.

but I think it's unlikely he reaches like true deadeye status like a Karl Towns or like Dirk level.


Im no surprised he's struggling he doesn't really have consistent way to create offense.

all his dribbling stuff in europe was always cool for a 7'4 for guy but not actually effective.

isnt trae also their daddy ?

Huh?

TF are you talking about?

The silver lining is that all the criticism to his game seems very fixable. It will be a big learning curve for him though.

That was in 2021 man. No Brunson.

Have you seen Trae’s record against the Knicks since then?

Terrible - I would LOVE to see Atlanta in the playoffs this year. PLEASE.

We stopped taking Trae seriously a while ago.

We deserve a better Villian.

 

[doublemesh96]

Trae need to do something about that transparent curl. Then got the nerve to try and hit the sideburns with some double lines like that **** is sweet. Man’s out there looking like Frasier Crane

[Bad Religion]

We've all seen how that forehead plays out.

 

[rolaholic]

They did him so dirty giving him the Yakub line up

 

[rolaholic]

 

[doublemesh96]

Dude thought he was a better shooter than rich Paul

[ill steelo]

Hawks-Pacers o/u is 252

 

[Coupé It]

First thing I did was try finding his record with this picture on the side of it.

Could find it

A good sign is is yo still round 20 ppg with the struggle and and only 1 PG on the roster who rarely shares the court with him…Once they make him the focus it’s lights out

I’m not worried at all for Vic, he’s shown the flashes and most importantly been available

 

[frshstunna]

highest since 1995

It def got a chance to go over but I’m still staying away from that bet, that’s a wild number
