I think Nash basically removed the protection Trae had, being a small guard who referees will call every touch as foul.
Trae FT attempts first 4 games: 14-17-15-16, averaging 15.5 FTA, Worth noting that Luka is averaging below 8 FTA this season, his career high last year was 9.2, James Harden career high is 11.8 FTA. That is how insane Trae FTA numbers early on.
After Nash calling him out: 4-4-15-3-5-6-2-12 averaging 6.375 FTA per game, With 6 of those games he had 2-6 attempts and two other games skewing the average
Once defense can actually play defense on him, it is a different story for him and he didn't respond well with it.
I still think Trae is elite talent and great franchise PG or maybe great franchise player even, but he still has long way to go in his development to be able to play winning basketball.
