I was looking at his stats and he is a career 43.9% 3 point shooter. Last year his 3 point field goal % was 45% which was 2nd best in the league.
Although his defense isn’t that great, I don’t think it’s bad enough to pass on someone who shoots the ball so well. I believe he’s a much better defender than Trae Young. 3 point shooting is such a valuable skill in today’s NBA. So what gives?
Players now are not just really good at one thing anymore. You’ve gotta have atleast 2-3 tools you’re skilled in for a roster spot now. He’ll definitely get a vet minimum somewhere though.
Also comparing Trae Young to Luke Kennard just based on their defensive capabilities is insane lol clearly Trae Young is handling a whole lot more on the offensive end than Luke Kennard to say the least lol
