    True, but I don’t believe he will reach Curry potential.

    Very impressed with this guy. Did not expect him to be this clutch, composed, poised. Looks like a cold blooded vet out there. Knicks might have unleashed a Kraken on this league

    Trae for sure is built for it. Shut the entire Garden up. Doncic IMO has the edge but Trae is for real and wanted all the smoke the Knicks and the fans threw at him.

    You’re right, only time will tell. But he is looking pretty good so far. I’m not sure who drafted him but a bunch of former Warriors front office guys work for the Hawks.  peace_5

     Trae is built for the moment as you just witnessed. East/West doesn't matter. Kid has no fear.

    Trae won’t ever have the same squad what Curry had. Trae is a cold blooded machine bro. Yet, it’s too early to tell. Can’t wait to see him play the Sixers...

    Hawks in 7...

    I don’t understand this take. They beat a bunch of Western playoff teams.

    I don’t understand this take. They beat a bunch of Western playoff teams.

    Doncic has a better true point skills and is bigger so he'll probably develop into a better defender.

    Mav's won the first 2 games in LA because of Doncic. He's a beast. Ironically the Hawks traded him to Dallas so they could draft Young. Myself, I'll take Doncic. His size and how well he sees the floor, he's like Magic Johnson with a better shot.

    I refuse to belong to any organization that will have me as a member.

    Couple of reasons why Luka is better than Trae right now:

    1) Luka is so much smarter. Trae doesn't understand yet how to get his shot every possession. Guys like Luka, KD Harden etc can get their shot every possession if they want. Also Trae basic passing IQ is no where near Luka. 

    2) I feel confidence from Trae but not the right type. Trae feels like a scorer. Give him the ball and he can likely put up 30 any game. But in similar to #1, its about how you do it. Trae doesn't seem to lead his team and well tbh only a handful of guys can lead and score at the same time. Luka is one of those guys. 

    3) He is not as good of a shooter as you think. Trae this year shot 34% from 3. Steph had a higher volume and shot over 42%!! Crazy right. Trae had an effective FG% of 49% this year. Steph? 60%. Luka? 55% and he didn't shoot the 3 ball well this year at all, 33%.

    This will be a great thread and will age very well...both Doncic and Young will be forever compared because of the draft...both have complete different body types so right away, their games are going to be completely different, but talent wise, very slight edge goes to Doncic only because hes been playing against grown men since 15...Young has truly impressed me with this entire season play and leadership...but what he did in this series is truly remarkable and he is only going to get better with experience...hope this thread gets archived because this will be a 10-15 year long fun debate

    Curry was not killing it like this this early in his career. Think he was still in montae Ellis shadow. This kid has took over this hawks team and molded him self into one of the best PG in the NBA.  I’m very happy for him and I’m impressed to say the least.

    Curry > Doncic > Trae. Curry change how the game is played. Doncic and Trae are really good but not on that level.
