Jalen Johnson is a fucking star. This guy just has it. Got that superstar whistle too (14 free throws in the fourth and two overtime quarters)

A career 73% free throw shooter is at the line down 2. Drains both free throws. Shit like that is what shows you a player got it (Maxey shade) Two insanely clutch 3 pointers in 2OT to give the Hawks a 6 point lead.

What a season so far for JJ. He’s making that All-Star game if he keeps this up and man, he might even be All-NBA.

Officially in Jalen Johnson fan club. I saw shades of his potential last season but did not expect him to just immediately start cooking like this once he got the opportunity to be the first option for his team

You’re not wrong, but if Trae is playing this game doesn’t even go to OT cause he’s taking the free throws instead of Dyson

You’re getting jack shit for a flawed player who’s on an expiring deal demanding a max contract. Look at what Fox got (Who to be fair forced his way to the Spurs but is still a better player than Trae to offset it)

Exactly how is Fox better than Trae? Slightly better scorer and defender, significantly worse passer/playmaker.

Trae has a player option of like 49mil - I doubt he’s gonna get that elsewhere so some of us think he’ll end up picking up the option.
