TRAE YOUNG IS NOT OUT OF IT , HE STILL HAS A SHOT AT WINNING ROOKIE OF THEY YEAR. HE HAS BEEN GETTING BETTER EACH AND EVERY GAME SINCE THE ALL STAR GAME.

BEST BASKETBALL QUALITIES:

TO ME HIS TOP 3 BEST BASKETBALL QUALITIES IS FIRST HIS SPEED. 2ND , HE HAS GREAT COURT AWARENESS AND FINALLY HIS BALL HANDLING IS VERY GOOD. HENCE WHY HE IS ABLE TO GET A LOT OF LAY UPS. HIS SHOOTING IS A BIT INCONSISTENT BUT HE IS STILL ABLE TO SCORE. BUT HAVING THOSE QUALITIES AS A POINT GAURD WILL LEAD HIM TO GREATNESS. ESPECIALLY HOW THE LEAGUE IS FORMING WITH LOTS OF SPACE FOR OFFENSES. TO BE HONEST TRAE YOUNG COULD VERY DEADLY IN THIS LEAGUE AND HIS FUTURE IS NOW! SO KEEP SHOWING OUT.

FUN FACT ABOUT TRAE YOUNG:

TRAE YOUNG IS THE ONLY ROOKIE TO PUT UP 45P 15A IN NBA HISTORY.

HE HAS THE MOST POINTS FOR A ROOKIE IN ATLANTA HAWKS HISTORY.

ZACH LAVINE SHOULD US THAT HE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A TOP PLAYER IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE ONE DAY. CLEARLY HE HAS ANOTHER LEVEL HE NEEDS TO TAP INTO AND FOR HIM TO BRING MORE CONSISTENCY EVERY NIGHT. HIS GAME IS SILKY SMOOTH AND HE ALMSOT HAS NO HOLES IN HIS OFFENSIVE GAME. AS HE HAS THE ABILTY TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS ON THE COURT. BUT AT THE AGE OF 23 COULD THIS GAME BE HIS TURNING POINT IN HIS CAREER? I DON’T KNOW BUT I WANT TO SEE MORE FROM HIM. HE IS FULLY CAPABLE OF BRINGING THIS!

HERE ARE HIGHLIGHTS OF LAST NIGHT STARS:
