Luka is two yrs removed from playing against grown men 220lbs, dining with ppl who drink wine and liquor daily, has mortgages and wives with kids.

Luka been a pro for some time, is 6"8 with an nba body. Trae is 6"1, 180lbs soak and wet. He doesnt need to be in the paint fighting for rebounds. You sound like you're angry Trae has worked out for the Hawks and is putting up record numbers for a rookie
I don't think anyone is "angry" about Trae. The comments you're responding to are that he's a streaky shooter, which has been true throughout his college and NBA career, and that he can't rebound or defend well, which are both empirically true and unlikely to change.

Trae Young may eventually become the evolutionary version of Stephen Curry and be the undisputed best player from this draft, but that doesn't change the fact that he hasn't been anywhere near as valuable as Luka Doncic this season.
