GAME SYNOPSIS:
THIS GAME WAS FREE FLOWING FROM THE START AS BOTH TEAMS WERE SHOOTING CLOSE TO 50% FOR THE ENTIRE GAME. THIS GAME ALSO HAD 36 TURNOVERS IN COMBINED IN TOTAL. OUR 2 YOUNG STARS CONTRIBUTED 17 TURNOVERS. WHICH IS TELLING TO HOW MUCH THE COACHES PUT THE OFFENSE IN THEIR HANDS.
FOR CHICAGO THEY SHOT 47.1% FROM THE FIELD AND AS A TEAM THEY WERE ALL PLAYING AGGRESSIVE DRIVING TO THE BASKETBALL AS THE TEAM SHOT 35/48 FROM THE FT LINE.
DIFFERENT FOR ATLANTA STORY:
ATLANTA GOT TO THE FT LINE ABOUT HALF THE TIME AS THEY SHOT 17/25 FROM THE FT LINE. THEY MADE UP FOR THAT LACK OF FREE THROW ATTEMPTS BY HTTING THEIR OPEN SHOTS AS THEY SHOT 49.6% FROM THE FIELD.
BOTH TEAMS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CONFERENCE. THESE 2 TEAMS WILL NOT BEING MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BUT THE FUTRUE COULD BE BRIGHT!

TRAE YOUNG IS NOT OUT OF IT , HE STILL HAS A SHOT AT WINNING ROOKIE OF THEY YEAR. HE HAS BEEN GETTING BETTER EACH AND EVERY GAME SINCE THE ALL STAR GAME.
BEST BASKETBALL QUALITIES:
TO ME HIS TOP 3 BEST BASKETBALL QUALITIES IS FIRST HIS SPEED. 2ND , HE HAS GREAT COURT AWARENESS AND FINALLY HIS BALL HANDLING IS VERY GOOD. HENCE WHY HE IS ABLE TO GET A LOT OF LAY UPS. HIS SHOOTING IS A BIT INCONSISTENT BUT HE IS STILL ABLE TO SCORE. BUT HAVING THOSE QUALITIES AS A POINT GAURD WILL LEAD HIM TO GREATNESS. ESPECIALLY HOW THE LEAGUE IS FORMING WITH LOTS OF SPACE FOR OFFENSES. TO BE HONEST TRAE YOUNG COULD VERY DEADLY IN THIS LEAGUE AND HIS FUTURE IS NOW! SO KEEP SHOWING OUT.
FUN FACT ABOUT TRAE YOUNG:
TRAE YOUNG IS THE ONLY ROOKIE TO PUT UP 45P 15A IN NBA HISTORY.
HE HAS THE MOST POINTS FOR A ROOKIE IN ATLANTA HAWKS HISTORY.
ZACH LAVINE SHOULD US THAT HE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A TOP PLAYER IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE ONE DAY. CLEARLY HE HAS ANOTHER LEVEL HE NEEDS TO TAP INTO AND FOR HIM TO BRING MORE CONSISTENCY EVERY NIGHT. HIS GAME IS SILKY SMOOTH AND HE ALMSOT HAS NO HOLES IN HIS OFFENSIVE GAME. AS HE HAS THE ABILTY TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS ON THE COURT. BUT AT THE AGE OF 23 COULD THIS GAME BE HIS TURNING POINT IN HIS CAREER? I DON’T KNOW BUT I WANT TO SEE MORE FROM HIM. HE IS FULLY CAPABLE OF BRINGING THIS!
HERE ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF LAST NIGHT STARS:
TRAE YOUNG:
ZACH LAVINE:
WHAT DO YOU THINK THESE PLAYERS? AND CAN YOU SEE ANY OF THESE TWO STARS WINNING ANY AWARDS?
