Trae Young always wastes too many balls • Basket USA

During this trip to Portland, the Hawks lost no less than 25 balls! It’s obviously huge and it weighs down the attack but also the defense of Atlanta since the Blazers will take advantage of it to score 32 points with these wasted possessions. Among the least economical, we find Jalen Johnson (7) as well as Dyson Daniels and Trae Young (6 each).

It is now a bad habit for the latter, who had already lost 6 balls against the Wizards and the Bulls…

“I need to read situations better. I can’t lose six balls. I need to be more careful”recognizes the Hawks playmaker, who also thinks of the collective. “We must also do better when I am taken together. When we find ourselves in a four-on-three situation, we have to score more. That way, they will stop the traps and it will be better. »

The player who loses the most balls

Trae Young was actually taken in two by the Blazers, but also put under pressure by Toumani Camara (4 interceptions), who did not hesitate to come and get him from the throw-in.

Quin Snyder therefore decided to give the ball to other players, like Keaton Wallace for ten minutes, to relieve his All-Star. “The work he put in was seen on the ground. He is comfortable”comments Trae Young talking about his teammate.

It worked well to allow the Hawks to come back, after a completely unsuccessful third quarter, but the Atlanta star will not be able to make the difference in the “money time”. Unlike Shaedon Sharpe.

These 18 lost balls in three matches make Trae Young the worst student in the league in this area, because with an average of 4.7 lost balls since the start of the season, he shares first place with Cade Cunningham.
