    Coach Nick went deep into the footage from last night's amazing games by both the Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (37 points, 7 assists) and the Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (44 points, 9 assists) to figure out which of these two scintillating young stars is better.

    Really impressive is the fact that they took care of the ball so well while doing all that. Trae set a record last night as the only player to score 37 points on 12 FG attempts in NBA history. The next best guy is Barkley when he did it in the 80s.

    Trae’s effort on defence in pre season and this 1st game is really promising, he will always be undersized but he is reading lanes and making it somewhat harder for his opponents. Hopefully over the span of the season it becomes noticeable

    • @canineuniversity1015

      As a hawks fan, my opinion on the matter is that we were so bad the past couple years and Trae had to literally do everything on offense. To the point where he was probably forced to rest alot on defense.
      Last night we actually looked like a capable team and trae looked significantly fresher.

      @@OTRMonk sorry I never meant by my initial statement that Trae was or would ever be good on defense. But he wasn't nearly the liability he has been. Now its one game and its the bulls but He can at least be an energetic body that can stay infront of a player. He used to be so exhausted that on defense he would play incredibly sluggishly

      @@canineuniversity1015 I love how you can tell that the Hawks front office really has a plan. They traded down to draft Trae and got a draft pick, that they used to draft Cam Reddish, who is already looking like he can be one of the best defensive players in the league. They also reached a bit to get a defensive minded guy in Hunter. And then they traded for Capela who is also an above average defender at the 5. They knew that Trae has huge offensive potential, but cant play defense, so they surrounded him with players that have the potential to be elite on the defensive side of the ball and also knock down 3s to stretch the defense to allow that PnR with Trae and Collins/Capela. Its beautiful to see that front office have a clear vision of their franchises future and to execute a plan to turn that vision into reality.

      Trae Young torches the league almost as much as he gets torched by the league. Young is too small and weak to be a good defender, and he makes it worse with poor defensive habits (low effort, inattentive, and gambling when he does try). I don't see Trae Young becoming a winning player. Ja Morant is almost as good on offense, and world's better on defense.

    Ja is gonna (more potential) be much better as a defender, and their offense is comparable. Ja is also improving as a shooter. I think ja will be better. Also a grizzlies fan
    Edit: on offense, playmaking is similar. Shooting goes to trae. Finishing to ja. Middle game is comparable. Ja is a bit worse rn, but I think he'll be better in the next two years. Again, I am biased.

      @@shamanis29 he is fun to watch that means he more likely skillful. However, Trae is like curry deadly but not really fun to watch. Overall they both can get the job done.

      @@baba10ye I agree that Morant is more fun to watch, just because of his freakish athleticism and reckless play. Dunking and acrobatic layups is more fun to watch than someone shooting threes. Meanwhile Young is still a better player at this point.
      Kyrie Irving is more fun to watch than Kawhi. Is he a better player, of course not.

    1:02 If we are only going by those categories: No. Because deep 3's aren't really Morant's game.
    If you consider defense: Absolutely yes.
    Also: How is Morant's ability to draw fouls when dunking? This takes Trae out of the question because he hardly dunks at all, but still a different layer in Ja's game nonetheless.

    Dude. They took out Trae for almost the entire 4th Quarrtter, compare ja’s and trae’s minutes, Trae is an amazing scorer and ja isn’t even close at this point of his Career.

    Only thing Ja has over Trae is athleticism, but it doesn't matter cuz Trae's offense is so elite, Ja's athleticism doesnt help him enough to be better than Trae. Trae is balling on a tier 1 level, Ja is in the same tier as Fox and Lowery right now

    Ja Morant taller, better athlete, if his shot is not falling he has the physical tools to play defense, his scoring can only improve as he continues playing. Trae Young better scorer, better shooter, if his shot is off he has no real impact anywhere else. Verdict: Ja Morant. Trae Young is more explosive of a scorer, but Ja Morant will give you more consistent impact even when he is struggling to score. I'll take consistency over inconsistent big performances.

    Is this a discussion? Ja is clearly better. He has serious superstar potential. Trae’s ceiling is all star, which is great, but he’s too small to be a superstar in this league
