@kevinoconnor: The Trae Young extension is already a disaster for Washington. Am I wrong? Why does Trae Young have to possess the ball for nine minutes per game? He's one of four players to possess the ball for over 50% of his minutes on the floor. It's insane. Can Trae just finally accept shooting off the catch? Can he finally just say, “I’m a better shooter off the catch than I am off the dribble?" I’m sick of him launching bricks from outside. And he's not getting to the rim as much anymore either. His prime season, the 2021–22 season, he took 22% of his shots at the rim. That’s down below 15% this year. Unlike Anthony Davis, who is still not re-signed, the Wizards are stuck with Trae. You’re stuck with this after giving him that money: four years and $212 million when they weren't bidding against anybody. And that really hurts your rebuild if he doesn’t turn things around here. At least the Wizards have AJ Dybantsa and Kyshawn George and Tre Johnson. Too bad with Trae there they don't get enough touches. Ugh. #nba #washingtonwizards #wizards #nbastats @wash_wizards #traeyoung

I have no problem with the deal at all. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. You'll be able to move him at some point. And if not, it won't hold you up from your future

Trae was never consistent with making shots at a high level. In his last full season in Atlanta he was 41% from the field and 34% from 3. Year before that was a bit better at 43% from the field and 37% from 3. But then the prior year he was 43% and 34%.

I also disagreed with the deal. It’s the defense that bothers me. At that height he needs to be way more aggressive. His effort defensively is a joke. He is the worse defender I have ever seen and it’s not because of his height. He doesn’t look like he knows how to play defense or maybe even wants to try. Players should be scared to dribble around him. At least. Offensively, I disagree with you that he necessarily needs to go off ball. He still has gravity. Guys are not knocking down shots. I think he needs to do a better job being more aggressive scoring. And his game is pick and roll, get to the rim. That is when he is at his best. I’m fine with it but the deal before he shows it really doesn’t sit right with me. But maybe that was the deal behind the deal to even get him to Washington. We needed to see what the offense can look like with a playmaker. Trey kinda showed us that it can work. But this is a make or break period. Need resilience to get through this stretch
