My Take
Trae Young is one of those players who genuinely bends your expectations of what a point guard is supposed to look like. He's not imposing physically, but the moment he gets the ball at half-court and starts pulling up from logo range, you understand immediately why everyone lost their mind over him at Oklahoma — he was the only player in NCAA history to lead Division I in both scoring and assists in the same season, which is just absurd. Atlanta took a leap of faith trading up to draft him in 2018, and he repaid them by carrying the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021, outduiling much more hyped teams in the process. There's something almost old-school about his game — the hesitation dribble, the floater over giants, the pinpoint no-look pass — wrapped in a very Gen Z flair. Still in his mid-twenties as of 2024, I genuinely have no ceiling in my head for where this guy ends up.
