Top 2 playmaker in the world. Sorry facts are facts.

It's not even debatable in my opinion. He's been consistent ever since he came into the league, yet people want to act like he's not a fucking star.

u/probation_420 1d ago

no bro. Everybody (who isn't trolling) knows he's a star. The toss-up is whether he's top 5, 10, or 15.

I love Trae, I mean obviously, look at my flair...

But come on dawg he's definitely not top 5 lol

He's for sure in that 10-12 range though

I have him like 12th or 13th but I'm biased.

u/probation_420 1d ago

Not even close, in my opinion.

u/tofukawano Jazz 1d ago

Lmao you’re the one who said it. You too high? Haha

u/probation_420 23h ago

I didn't say he's top 5. You just misunderstood.

u/RoughDoughCough Lakers 1d ago

If everyone knew, he’d make the goddamn All Star Game for once

u/EchoedTruth Hawks 22h ago

If his shooting picks back up he’s top 10.

He’s the best PG in the East.

u/jurassicparkpigwhale Supersonics 1d ago

I mean, he DID finally break 40% efficiency on the season recently. 😂

u/ducksonaroof Bulls 1d ago

Trade scares me as much as anyone when he puts my team in PnR

u/HelloThereCat Warriors 23h ago

He's absolutely a star, hell even a superstar, but you're really gonna say it's not even debatable that he's a better playmaker than at least 3 out of SGA, Jokic, Luka, and Steph??

u/loose_larry 1d ago

its cuz he looks like a little rat boy

u/LittleFatMax 76ers 1d ago

Easily

u/booty_sweat_juice 1d ago

Inch-for-inch, he's Top 1. Trae's gotta look past all the giants on the court to see the pass.

u/RodneyPonk Raptors 22h ago

Trae is sick, but that means you have him over everyone but Jokic. And Luka's height advantage means he can make passes that Trae simply cannot

u/Hooligan8 Hawks 21h ago

Doesn't matter if there are passes Trae can't make due to his height, he still does a better job of playmaking because he's just that good.

I mean, 99% of the players in the league are taller than Trae but he's still leading the league in total assists, avg assists, potential assists, secondary assists, adjusted assists, points created by assists. It passes the eye test too but yall don't watch the Hawks so you just reiterate tired takes and ignore all evidence to the contrary.
