There’s basically no chance Trae turns down the option, so getting him on the court this season really isn’t relevant to that, but I would like to at least see a little bit of the fit before next season.
>Dawkins: “I think our core of young players that we’ve drafted since we’ve been here for the past three years, those guys are serious basketball players. They’re competitors. They work. I think Trae is going to ignite them. But I think they’re going to ignite him as well. He’s not coming in here to take over.”
>“He’s going into the group like he’s a piece of the puzzle, like he talked about [at his introductory press conference]. So I’m excited to just have guys that love to compete and get after it. I think the fit positionally, he’s kind of the lynchpin at that point with being the point guard to connect the dots a little bit. But I think they also fit with what they’re about and how they’re going to represent D.C.”
I like the “he’s not coming in here to take over” part.
