Yes?

One of 7 guys to ever have a 40 - 50 - 90 season. 40% from 3 50% FG and 90 % FT and he did it for 5 straight seasons.

Curry, Durant , Mark Price, Reggie Miller , Dirk and Larry Bird are the only other people to ever do it

The fact that your post got daps is embarassing

So you saying Trae don't have the talent to post 40 - 50 - 90 ?

He shot 42% and 36% in college and his game relies on taking alot of bad shots so probably not.

Maybe he if he played off the bench and was ultra conservative with his shot selection he could but thats just not the kind of player he is

False narrative...Trae HAD to be a gunner on that OU team

I never watched the Coherd show but he has to be doing something right to be on as long as he has
I've never seen the Cowherd show :yeshrug:
Colin is a shock jock journalist playing to a certain element :mjpls:
He is the epitome of a "sports journalist" that limits black athletes to being "physical specimens"(fetishizes) , while down playing their intellect, yet praises white athletes for achieving success, through being tactful, smart, hardworking, persistent and crafty. The dog whistling is atrocious on his segments. He does and says just enough to not come off or be considered a racist

I don't get that at all from his show. The problem with you and others on this site is that you subscribe to Coli group think and adopt an opinion without critically thinking about what you're saying, you're just parroting other people's opinion on here. His show and his act in many ways is a troll job...but he is a shock jock who says outrageous things for a reaction. He should be condemned for racist comments but his show is entertaining to me. It is what it is but I'm not going to continue to debate Cowherd in this thread unless it's Hawks related. So :camby: if you're not talking Hawks

Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce believes that Dennis Schroder will be “a tremendous role model” for rookie point guard Trae Young.

On Monday, Pierce told the media that Young is “just trying to follow in [Schroder’s] footsteps” as a player. (Via the AJC‘s Michael Cunningham):

“I think Dennis will be a tremendous role model,” Pierce said Monday. “We’ve talked already about him and Trae not only coexisting, but him being a leader for Trae and helping him on the court. Dennis has had a lot of success in the league and he’s a guy that still has a lot of growing to go, and Trae is just trying to follow in those footsteps.” […]

“Talking to Dennis, he’s excited,” Pierce said. “He was excited about who were going to end up with in the draft and he was excited about where we are headed. I talked to him about playing with Trae and with the other guys. He’s back in Germany with his national team but he’s also excited about the guys that we have.”

:dwillhuh:

Coach Pierce can't possibly believe what he's saying here. Schroeder has already said he doesn't want to be on a losing organization, mentioned Indy or MIL as options & got into a weird Twitter war with Prince. Why would Schroeder be the guy to mentor and embrace the new face of the franchise who also happens to play his position?

This gotta be aimed at trying to improve Schroeder's image for possible trades. There's a chance Schroeder isn't even here this upcoming season

Yea this is just trying to build his value up. Trying to make it seem like he better for the locker room than he really is.

If we openly talking about he not part of the plans, we def aint getting a team to take that contract
