Not to compare Trae to Jordan, but Jordan had the same problem at one point - he was an excellent scorer, but he didn’t do everything else that mattered. When he began passing, leading and ultimately making his teammates better, he (and the Bulls) turned into an unstoppable force.
I think the Steve Nash aspiration is a good one. If he can learn to control the tempo, he has something special.
Great point. Most players have to run into that wall a few times before they realize they need to adjust. It's the developmental curve we see in life generally. People tend to be prisoners of the moment when it comes to sports because of the immediacy of the results of your actions. But it's important to see the big picture as well, keep things in perspective.
It's cool to know you're into basketball as well! I'm working on a piece now that compares Trae with Jordan. In the sense of how leadership styles might be different based on how you play on the court. I'm glad to know it might interest you since you're a consistent reader. Thanks for reading and responding! I appreciate you

Yeah playing a more pure point guard role would be great for the team vibes 😂
