Fox vs. Trae Young

[kb02]

I am going to miss most of this game live, but am planning to watch all of it on LP tonight.

I hope Fox is 100% healthy. If he is, my prediction is Fox significantly outplays Young. Young will get his points and assists, because of the pace of the game, but when it matters, Fox will stuff him. Fox is simply a bad match up Young--quicker, longer, more athletic. We'll see.

 

[DesertFox]

Trae is really really skilled. I had my doubts but the shooting and playmaking is for real. I bet on Fox out playing him, but if he gets hot the Hawks could be dangerous.

 

[Heuge]

Hawks current ranked #1 in pace. This game could be fun!

 

[dude12]

Defensively, Fox is light years ahead of Young and based on size and length, always will be

 

[Sac.Kings]

Defense may be an afterthought in this game. Both teams run like their lives depend on it.

 

[kingsboi]

I wonder if the officials will get whistle happy against Fox since he likes to pressure full court, a rarity among guards now a days

 

[lwc]

The first and second fastest pace teams in the NBA playing against each other should be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

This is my worry. Our advantage is our bigs. We need to go inside to WCS and Bagley. Let’s hope Fox doesn’t get dragged into a man on man battle.

 

[Cojc]

Our center and power forwards will give them fits

We must not let them do to us what we have been doing to others.

And again they have not played any one as fast as the Kings.

simply run them into the ground and pressure them on defense early and often.

 

[Kingster]

Cut the head off of the snake. Fox, Mason, and Yogi should pressure Young from the opening tip. If they do, this game is a blow-out by the Kings.

I hear you but we have been avoiding hero/iso ball really well this year. In fact I cannot remember a stretch where we fell into it for prolonged periods. Pretty amazing when you think about it.

Even more than that. Make Young play defense. Keep going at him on offense.

 

[Ozymandias]

It's a good bet. Time will prove that Fox is tough on smaller guards, I'm still kind of geeked he blocked mike conley's 3pt attempt the other night, that was cool.

 

[Kingster]

Even more than that. Make Young play defense. Keep going at him on offense.

I was going to say that, but it's almost a given because the Kings are going to fast break like nobody's business. Young better be in good shape.

 

[Kingster]

Hey, I'm geeked that Buddy Hield blocked John Wall's shot in the closing minute or so of the Wizards game. Wazzup with that?!

 

[Livinthedream]

Our best defenders have been our starting guards. Let that sink in.

It will come in handy when we play the Warriors in the 1st round.

Pre-draft, there were a vocal minority who wanted to trade Fox and pick Trae Young.

Fox didn’t look like the second coming at the time and I think Young will be a great player. I believe most of the trade Fox was to come out with Young/Doncic

 

[King Baller]

Fox was a defensive beast in this game AND he got a Triple Double!

 

[gunks]

In the 3rd I was screaming at Fox (because he can hear me through my TV) that he needed to think about the friends and family of Hawks players that were doubtless in the stands.

This thread is shameful. We needn't gloat.

Fox is too nasty. Toooooo nasty!

 

[Noble]

He ****ing clowned Trae Young. Clown shoes.

 

[Gary]

Trae played pretty well. He's a rookie though so he has his growing pains. The one thing I like about Young (since college) is that he is not afraid to take the team on his shoulders and not afraid to be the man. I think he's going to be an allstar in the coming years.

Well that's the main gist of it. It's about having trust in your coaching staff and management to develop these players and having the foresight of the player that they will become. If you expect every player to look like the second coming immediately then you better hope you have a crystal ball. These players are all 19-20 yo so what they are as a rookie is not what they're going to be for the rest of their career. There were people here who was willing to trade fox straight up for Young and Colin Sexton before the draft. It's basically instant gratification but you're basically wanting to trade for another young unproven rookie who will go through the same growing pain .

So would you still trade fox for young??

Hahaha, well played sir, well played. There are children DeAaron, dammit!

November 11. Lonzo Ball. We coming

 

[Suicide King]

November 11. Lonzo Ball. We coming

Lonzo Ball- DNP - Fox'd

 

[Joshoua]

Lonzo Ball- DNP - Fox'd

Smh Sac 1989 actually thinks Lonzo will show up now

 

[Nokidding]

If there is a type of guard Trae will struggle against it will be the Fox/Jrue Holiday the big/physical smart defenders, Fox went full bulldog on him.
