    well, going by those numbers he's defended 129 shots at the rim so far, so it's not that small a sample size. As you implied we don't know the exact circumstances on those shots or how many, if any, were help contests

    my hunch is that he has blocked those shots at such a high rate that it kind of hides how many of the shots were successful. We remember the blocks a lot more than the makes

    This doesn't show that Trae is a great passer, this shows how much the PG position has changed over the years.

    It used to be a floor general that was a distributor. Now PGs are short ball dominant shooters.

    how come another team's rookie has a great game and it means he is the second coming? Donovan has a big game and all we are told is "fluke"??

    Now we have to listen to all those Knecht-lovers again. Never mind guys, think of it this way: anyone who can shoot threes is going to have a field day (a) playing with LeBron and AD, and (b) playing against The Jazz.* Be happy for him - he wouldn't've done that if WE drafted him (and you'd be moaning over rumors we could've got Deni Avdija instead).
