skip bayless called trae young a bust in like late november...dudes a fool.....not just he may not be a superstar no hes a bust....the same dude attacked steph curry as a rookie so...hes an idiot
Thing that's been most impressive to me is definitely his passing vision despite his size, he finds angles and creates opportunities I didn't think he could with his limitations
@@NotOneToFly Not really. When you think about the most elite passing visions of all time, the three names that come to mind are Magic, Lebron, and Larry Bird. All players above 6'7. Of course there are small guards who had amazing vision (Nash, Kidd, Isiah) but a lot of their talent was on fast break and interior passing situations out of pick and roll. For half court swing passing situations height is definitely an advantage.
@@aja3longhorn375 I still contend that this is a conflation of vision and being able to make a given pass. Height has an advantage on longer passes and passes over the defense while short players have advantages with pass weight and passes under the defense. Size as a variable should be viewed as independent from passing but not from overall value.
What you should mention is the impact of his swag. The level of confidence that he displays in his game and shooting ability is that of NBA greats. His recent rash of great games is indicative of just how far his confidence can propel him. Young has Stephen Curry confidence and his shot with Steve Nash confidence in his ability to make plays with the pass.
I knew Young was a Star. He just needed time to adjust to the speed of the NBA. His shot wasn’t falling because he had to come of screens and dribbles quicker than ever. Now that he’s used to the speed he’s gonna be a great player.
To think it's been 3 years since your Dime Drop video sold me on Trae because when I was freaking out about the trade and I finally find the rest of your stuff now; I truly don't know who I'd be as a basketball fan without your stuff man, thank you.
People laughing at Trae-Luka trade early this season are failed to see the big picture. It's what Hawks want by design. See, the organization is running a new project, that is to become The Warriors of the East. That's why there are plenty of ex-Warriors in the organization right now, down to their head physio. That's also the reason why they want Trae over Luka. Say what you want about Luka, and rightly so, as Luka is exceeding expectation so far, but so is Trae! At the end of the day, Luka is a piece of the puzzle that deemed not fit to Hawks picture. Meanwhile, in their eyes, Trae is.
Very true, they're both doing amazing, but Trae just fits the hawks vision more than Luka, even if he turns out to deliver lesser numbers than Luka (although i think they will both have amazing careers in the NBA and probably be all stars for years to come, plus being very even when comparing the two). But he clearly works under the hawks system, more than Luka would. I'd say the trade was a win win for the hawks and the mavericks!
What can Trae do that Luka wouldn't fit with Great playmaking paired with a good 3 and unflappable confidence but are poor defenders The big differences are: Luka gets boards, Luka can become a good defender, Luka is better in the mid-range, is super clutch already, and Luka could become an elite post threat like Kobe and Mike What's the upside of Trae compared to Luka?
Trae in January 2019 (14 games 44.4 fg 33.7 3p 19/4/7 ) Trae in February 2019 ( 12 games 41 fg 44.4 3p 23/4/9 ) Luka in January 2019 (14 games 43 fg 31 3p 22/8/6) Luka in February 2019 ( 12 games 44 fg 36 3p 24/9/7) Trae had great 2 back to back 36 point games and his historic 49 points game but that is only 3 games in 2019. So far luka has been the better player in 2018 and 2019. There are still 20 games left for luka and 19 for trae in 2019 so trae have a chance to have better stats in 2019. At the end Trae is having great season but Luka is the roy and better player overall.
I hope you guys do an episode in Mitchell Robinson, definitely the best player to come out of the second round and it would be good to see you not only focus on the top picks
I don't know why really, but I'm definetly a Trae Young fan, even if I'm a Raptors fan. This young dude is exploding expectations, and he's fun to watch play. Definetly someone I'll be watching more and more as he gains experience. He is poised for a big future.
Good video Ringer. Loved the part about his awareness of everyone trying to block him. Awesome way to draw defense n create dimes. Great player but I wish he proved NBA wrong about short guys on defence like Luka has proved that athleticism and length isn't everything. Trae could be great on defense. His speed and agility should make him good on the ball like you said, could pick pockets like John Stockton and easily shake n bake around those screens. Plus his endurance as a smaller guy means he could play hard both ends of the court. Chris Paul could teach him a thing or two. I saw him defend well against Ben Simmons! But I agree with you he deserves an A. Props to Hawks ball movement and John Collins too.
So fascinating to come back to these analysis and see what was right and what was wrong. Trae is a great on ball creator, but i don't think he's gotten meaningfully better since his rookie season. He's a slightly better defender, slightly more efficient shooter, but he doesn't do anything off ball and he's still turnover prone.
Can we see a 'The Leap' video on a rookie sensation that is quietly going under many peoples radar, Mitchell Robinson. He is a great defender, with his size, build, and legenth he has potential to be even better. I don't see him ever being a volume scorer, but l do see a role similar to Whieside and DJ. He has "IT" and it's as scary as a Stephen King novel. The same IT you give Ayton and Wiggins trouble for. High motor, scrapy, athletic bigman.
Sweet video. Could you flash the stats on screen more when saying them? Like for team Off/Def Rating and such, as opposed to just 9 minutes of game footage straight. Can look at Bbballbreakdown for inspiration
I just pray..... at season end. Trae, Huerter and Spellman hit the gym. Trae and Huerter need to bulk up to hang defensively, esp Trae. Spellman needs to lose weight and be more agile and quick on the floor and protect his knees
trae and zion would be a nice grindmill for opponents :D, but whos the best third man for the traenity? some pippen style dude or more of a rodman? plus he reminds me more of stockton than curry
What can Trae do that Luka wouldn't fit with Great playmaking paired with a good 3 and unflappable confidence but are poor defenders The big differences are: Luka gets boards, Luka can become a good defender, Luka is better in the mid-range, is super clutch already, and Luka could become an elite post threat like Kobe and Mike What's the upside of Trae compared to Luka?
SYM Gitler I love Collins but he’s more of a Clint Capella player. He can run the break and pick and role at an elite level but he can’t score in a half court offense without an assist. He’s a great complimentary player but he isn’t a 1-2 punch because he can’t create his own shot.
I keep seeing how Trae is the nxt Curry or Nash and the Hawks will be Warriors East. No. He is a reminder of them, that is it!! Hawks will be a new Monster in the NBA. Right now, the team is not that good but once they get the right pieces soon, they will become serious contenders. Laugh it up right now but they will become unstoppable, watch!
I honestly dont get the hate and mockery for this guy just because he is compared luka. He's a great point guard and a future star, shame people cant see that. And if anyone is wondering, i'm a madridista(real madrid fan) who loves doncic's game even before he went to the nba
You can watch Part 1 of the series on Luka Doncic here: ruclips.net/video/8EbzCkwdnSU/видео.html

That 2014 draft class joke was awesome

droppin' them ringer dimes my guy. You're probably my favorite youtuber at the moment. Please keep cranking out content.
Thing that's been most impressive to me is definitely his passing vision despite his size, he finds angles and creates opportunities I didn't think he could with his limitations
I mean there have been plenty of elite passers as small as him. Some of the best of all time actually.
@@Methodofication That doesn't mean it isn't still impressive
The conflation of size with vision is one of the most stubborn (and stupid) in the NBA.

Great work, it's good to see that people are recognizing Trae's production. The efficiency will come with time.

His recent rash of great games is indicative of just how far his confidence can propel him.

Ringer, RUclips let’s you create channels and shows, you should use that feature
I knew Young was a Star. He just needed time to adjust to the speed of the NBA. His shot wasn’t falling because he had to come of screens and dribbles quicker than ever. Now that he’s used to the speed he’s gonna be a great player.
Dime Drop Ringer videos continue to be superb.
The Ringer finally giving Trae Young some love after shitting on him all season
Trae Young will be a future super star!!!
Alex Chung agreed my man

Jonah Falcon what makes you think porzingis is a superstar?
@@joshjohnson3867 because hes 7'2" athletic, handles the ball, shoots, post and is an all NBA defensive candidate
What can Trae do that Luka wouldn't fit with

The big differences are: Luka gets boards, Luka can become a good defender, Luka is better in the mid-range, is super clutch already, and Luka could become an elite post threat like Kobe and Mike

Heres some context
You draft Luka and you begin making moves to contend, Trae just isn't that
Just subbed from this video alone. Whoever did the analysis / breakdown of this video deserves a raise! Great content. #TraeYoungROTY
He is "The Dime Drop" on his own RUclips channel... posts infrequently but always in depth and will probably pick it up around draft time.
Check out the website it is the best sporting website @espn @bleacher report
The Dime Drop
Fantastic video. So we’ll made and well written. Keep up the great work!! .. Trae is not bad either ;)
this guys videos are some of the best stuff the Ringer is doing right now- keep it up!
I know I’m having a good day when I saw this thanks for the video mate
Been watching Ice Trae all season, he’s improved drastically already Im excited for his career as a Hawk. We have something brewing down here!
The Ringer is REALLY backtracking on their early Trae Young takes
Dime Drop Delights!
That baseline dribble, I saw steve nash there
Ringer’s starting to feel like a tv network. Could work
Since the year changed, there hasn't been a better rookie imo
swaggy p best rookie after all star break. Keeps it up and he’ll be ROY
Trae in January 2019 (14 games 44.4 fg 33.7 3p 19/4/7 )
Trae in February 2019 ( 12 games 41 fg 44.4 3p 23/4/9 )
Luka in January 2019 (14 games 43 fg 31 3p 22/8/6)
Luka in February 2019 ( 12 games 44 fg 36 3p 24/9/7)
Trae had great 2 back to back 36 point games and his historic 49 points game but that is only 3 games in 2019.
So far luka has been the better player in 2018 and 2019.
There are still 20 games left for luka and 19 for trae in 2019 so trae have a chance to have better stats in 2019.
At the end Trae is having great season but Luka is the roy and better player overall.
@@_dfg-sn6wp is bringing Trae ROTY believers back to reality using stats! As of right now Luka is still #1 and not close.
Did you do one for bagley already ?
Definitely using "The Butcher's Boy" from now on.
Jordan Bean such an underrated dime drop
U mean the “Red Assassin”
Thank you for this!
I hope you guys do an episode in Mitchell Robinson, definitely the best player to come out of the second round and it would be good to see you not only focus on the top picks
excellent stuff here
how does he compare to Steve Nash on defense?
I don't know why really, but I'm definetly a Trae Young fan, even if I'm a Raptors fan. This young dude is exploding expectations, and he's fun to watch play. Definetly someone I'll be watching more and more as he gains experience. He is poised for a big future.
Much love for Dime!
5:49 That's a golden Cleveland impression.
This is great content.
Soooo, when can I cop that "Holy Traenity" merch?

Trae just got a triple double against the Nets. Must've took constructive criticism n work hard on defense. Onya Trae!
Bad ass defensive sequence by Frank Ntilikina 6:30

Bro i love your videos
❄️❄️❄️Ice Trae the Gang❄️❄️❄️
I would watch a video on salad mejri as long as dime drop narrates it
Those are some good highlights.. I'm on notice 🤔
Nice video! Impressive statistics, groovy highlights, compelling arguments.
Luka for ROTY
I lol'ed at "Holy Traenity" well done
You ever notice that he jumps when his alley oop partner dunks?
Best rookie actor
Do an evaluation on Sexton!
lol, thats some Wardell defense. Good vid

Are y’all doin g another episode of the Leap soon?
Dime drop best channel on RUclips and it's not close
Sweet video. Could you flash the stats on screen more when saying them? Like for team Off/Def Rating and such, as opposed to just 9 minutes of game footage straight. Can look at Bbballbreakdown for inspiration
The Dime Drop is still easily my favorite analyst
Please make more videossss
Do miles bridges i know he hasn't been to good this but he is interesting as a player
Curry Prowess + Nash Passing = Trae Young. But his ceiling is going like himself. *Trae Young.*
Once trae gets more playmakers around him I think he will play better defense. He wont be as tired all the time
Love the Game of thrones reference.
I’m late to the party, but that 2nd beat is fire. Anybody know what it’s called?
I just pray..... at season end. Trae, Huerter and Spellman hit the gym.
Trae and Huerter need to bulk up to hang defensively, esp Trae.
Spellman needs to lose weight and be more agile and quick on the floor and protect his knees
Your accent changes when u say Luka doncic 😆
trae and zion would be a nice grindmill for opponents :D, but whos the best third man for the traenity? some pippen style dude or more of a rodman? plus he reminds me more of stockton than curry
The hawks finally became the warriors of the east. Both teams in the bottom of their conference now
DO SHAI GILGEOUS ALEXANDER NEXT!!!
Trae makes more sense with the hawks than Luka. GO HAWKS. Huerter needs more respect btw
What can Trae do that Luka wouldn't fit with
Great playmaking paired with a good 3 and unflappable confidence but are poor defenders
The big differences are: Luka gets boards, Luka can become a good defender, Luka is better in the mid-range, is super clutch already, and Luka could become an elite post threat like Kobe and Mike
What's the upside of Trae compared to Luka?
Is this the guy from Dime Drop?
I'd love a Shai one! This was great BTW
I'm offended by his offense.
The Monty Python reference was great
Still waiting on Bagley's midterm :/
He averaging 30 now... crazy
HOLY TRAENITY ...that’s hot or cold in this case ❄️❄️😏...nice assessment 👌🏽
Kyle Mann makes the best NBA video essays in youtube history. Let me know if you agree
Please do Miles bridges next
I always said trae is closer to Steve Nash than to steph curry
Should’ve mentioned Collins more, they’re a 1-2 punch rn
SYM Gitler I love Collins but he’s more of a Clint Capella player. He can run the break and pick and role at an elite level but he can’t score in a half court offense without an assist. He’s a great complimentary player but he isn’t a 1-2 punch because he can’t create his own shot.
TRAE WAY
I agree!
The comparison should've been with Steve Nash instead
Steve Nash with Iverson Heart and flashiness
how about Marvin Bagley 😮
Does Young looks like miniature version of The Great Khali ?
Hugo N dang it now that’s all I can see
first clip you see is a travel. the shade😭
I agree.
7:03 "Hes proving to be one of the best talent evaluator of nba"
>trade doncic
You failed to see the big picture, I see.
BIG PLAY TRAE!
Well trae is still young so he can still improve pun intended
I keep seeing how Trae is the nxt Curry or Nash and the Hawks will be Warriors East. No. He is a reminder of them, that is it!! Hawks will be a new Monster in the NBA. Right now, the team is not that good but once they get the right pieces soon, they will become serious contenders. Laugh it up right now but they will become unstoppable, watch!

I honestly thought predraft that his size would make him a bust
Do bagley
why show the missed 3?
"may very well be the most offensively talented guard to enter the league since Chris Paul."
Steph???
I think he means from day one.
Tdd? Second channel?
MAKE A SGA EPISODE, HE IS THE STARTING PG IN A PLAYOFF TEAM!!!
Song?
That Carmelo Anthony tho. Lol. 😂
Better draft class than 2003 potential???
Where the hell is Ayton's?
Do one for Kevin hurter please ! Great vid I might add
Im a luka fan boy, but man im soo wrong on calling this boy a bust.
But does it defend?
