Great rookie year. He’ll develop a lot quicker now. Should be scary to see where he is in 5 years
Next steph curry
Jonny Era not really. Steph didn’t ever pass like Trae. The only similarity they really have is the ability to shoot wherever
@@nic.k yeah that's what stands out honestly, thats why I said it. Hes got that rangeeeee
hope he gets a Klay and Draymond soon
@@xlegacyfusion8915 Trae Young is an actual capable guard all Steph is a shooter so overrated
I was very wrong about this kid, and I'm proud of it. He's special.
But still luka still deserves roty
dragon slayer101 you give DJ, DSJr, Tim Hardaway and the season of Trae would be better than this fake rookie
@@pixelcrunch8516 is roty mvp or somethin?
Roty mean Rookie Of The Year
@@pixelcrunch8516 obviously to u it's like winning a ring
I didn’t realize he had so many clutch moments 😳 there were at least 10 game tying, go ahead baskets or game winners in this video
the hawks were bad man
exactly what I was thinking.
That game winner against the bulls was waisted because one of his dumb teammates fouled the guy on the bulls that took the 3 shot that was win number 30 right there smh also the last game of the season the same thing happened but it wasn’t trae who hit the game winner and were up by 2 and the person fouled a 3 shot and the guy sank all three shots
he’s about to average 25 and 10 next year and be an all star
yep but i dont think he will be all-star
@@vaxter7657 He's on the east so if Kyle LULry can be, sure he can too.
Facts
Averaging 25 n 10 he shud be
Yes BC of his game winner in hawks vs bucks
This dude's dribbling shooting scoring and accuracy makes him a cheat code sometimes i swear his sliders are up 😂😂😂😂
why are we surprised?..he did in this in college as a freshmen....he avg. like 28 and 11 lol...he was killing it..
@@razkable you cant use college level basketball to accurately assess a player's skill anymore. Lonzo for example.
He’s got the shooting prowess of Steph Curry, the passing vision of Chris Paul, and the heart of Russell Westbrook. Best point guard of his generation. Kids gonna be truly special, even among hall of famers. Add in the kid is so humble and works so hard, there is no way he won’t be a legend in this league. Count it. Gotti!!!!!!!
WHAT ABOUT LUKA
And handless of kirye
@@phiri9073 Luka too
Defense of a traffic cone
Underrated in the clutch
I hope he's like that in the playoffs..
@@Eminentend hopefully
i think the fact people need to realize is trae was doing this with basically 1 legit starter caliber nba player in john collins...everyone else was a bench at best 5-6th option on a good team to mostly bench or role player scrubs...if john didnt miss 21 games the hawks win like 35 and thats while starting 6-23....their going to win 42-45 games next year....
@@Eminentend you were right 😂
His spin move is something else😂😍 that shit looks so beautiful in motion
This could’ve been so much longer lol ❄️🥶
Are we gonna acknowledge that this dude is shooting from Steph Curry, Daimian Lillard range?
funny how trae was 21-25 to end the year and was better than luka.....people need to give him credit at age 20...hes not 22 like curry was a rookie he doesnt have a stever kerr draymond kd iggy or klay to cover his weaknesses hes 20 smaller than steph without a nba father or brother and yet hes a top pick and a star and electrifying humble clutch cool and confident...the haters just are jealous..period...trae will be a mvp and champ one day...cant wait till he is...
@@deadchannel5428 I'm telling you he can shoot
When Curry end’s his career young will be there
YaBoy PT it’ll be like how curry was when Ray Allen was nearing his career
@@soloyoung3915 I think Trae is more like Steve Nash and Lillard mix - am elite passer with extremely long 3 point range
His like curry but with more game winners
@Shawn Golmes noooo!
@Shawn Golmes thtat's what I say
Releases so quick it ain't a step back three it's a step three back!!
hawks got trae young and first round pick to get cam. Then, trade up for hunter, finally the rebuild is almost complete!
Now they got Sharife Cooper n Jalen Johnson
Absolutely loving this up n coming hawks team
He's explosive and I like explosive players. This kid's gonna be great.
I really like this kid, he's a fighter and really proved the hater's wrong. Hope he develops nicely into an elite NBA PG!
What an amazing rookie year he will make more memorable plays and have spectacular career
My rookie of the year, without a doubt.
I find Trae Young to be one of the most exciting players to watch and can't wait for the upcoming seasons. Maybe it's because he's almost as exact opposite from what I was as a player as you could be.
I was also a point guard, but that's about all we have in common. At 5'7 I'm shorter than Isaiah Thomas, while never weighing more than 160lbs during the season. I only developed a solid handle after I stopped playing, and only averaged 25% from three in my very best season, at less than three attempts per game. I was a terrible iso scorer with a below average jumpshot, that was always the smallest player on the court. I can probable count the times I scored double digits during four seasons on two hands. I wasn't built to play basketball.
Yet, somehow, I had a stint as a pro, being the second PG for a team that was a runner up for the Dutch league championship. I was fast, had court vision that was good enough to always find a teammate to score and had a vertical that was high enough to dunk if only my hands weren't too small to palm a basket ball. But most of all, I was a tenacious defender. I stuck to opponents like glue, almost instantly recognized switches and forced more turnovers than anyone in my team. Basically everything that point guards in today's NBA aren't.
Having said that, Dutch basketball was never that great. And I was a below average player in the league, that really couldn't do anything you'd expect a PG as small as I to do. I played exactly one game with an NBA Champion, Fransisco Elson, and that was before he got his ring.
And at least I can say that, being a year younger that LeBron (I was born in 1985), I managed to score a game winning shot in a national championship before he was even drafted to the NBA. Basketball was the first sport I ever truly loved.
It dominated my life for years, until real life caught up to me, I got a job in psychiatry and transitioned from basketball to BJJ and MMA. I stopped watching the game for years after all my favourite players started to retire. I didn't follow NBA for years, aside from following LeBron's greatness.
These past years, however, I've grown more invested in watching basketball than I ever was in my playing days. Most of that comes down to Curry and Klay,the way they changed the game, and the many, many young players that followed them. Probably because they can do things that I was never able to do, but that are amazing to watch.
Trae Young is one of those players. Fearless, unbelievable range and way more creative than rookies were fifteen years ago. Sure, he lacks a good defense, but his offense is a true joy to watch and he might develop to be my favoritr PG to watch in a few years.
Then there's Curry, who revolutionalized the way the game is played, Klay, who has the most perfectly textbook shooting form I've probably ever seen, Kawhi, who's both an offensive machine as well as a defensive monster, of PG13, who rarely seems to break a sweat while still performing at an MVP level. We've got the insane athleticism of Westbrook, the ridiculous scoring of Harden, and probably the most versatile scorer I've ever seen in Kevin Durant. Add the Greek freak to that list, as well as big men like Embiid starting to play like forwards, a whole new slew of amazing European players like Porzingis, Jokic and Doncic, my personal favorite point guard in Dame, and a whole host of fantastic rookies, and in my opinion, the NBA has rarely been more exciting to watch.
As someone that grew up watching T-Mac, Kobe, Shaq, Nash, Ray, Reggie, Webber, Wallace, Duncan and Stojakovic, saw Carter give the greatest performance ever seen in a dunk contest, and idolised Iverson's game, that truly says a lot.
People that can say Trae Young isn't a fantastic talent and actually mean it, have no clue about basketball. He's not the best, and might never be. But he'd school each and every one of those commenters on the court without breaking a sweat.
Have some respect, guys. It's a great time to be an NBA fan.
Lesley Harrys bruh wtf nobody tryna read all that
@@udonrich9712 But you felt the need to respond anyway?
Lesley Harrys yes I had to let you know that nobody was tryna read that😂😂😭
Luka was more consistent but Trae had the bigger moments between the...
Game winners
Most 30pt 10ast games as a rookie
2nd most double-doubles among rooks
And 49pt 16ast game
Trae has a valid argument for ROY
The Hawks and the Mavs both won but if I consider the 3 first rd picks the Hawks are about to get which looks like it can be Cam Reddish Bol Bol & Deandre Hunter I think they might win in the long run💯
Get the fuck off of this video talking about Luka
Luka wasn't that consistent at the end of the season just like Trae wasn't in the beginning.
First Last bitch stfu I said one sentence about Luka the rest of that was about Trae you fucking goofy
Denton Lewis lol I just showed my friends this comment to prove that I had call Reddish and Hunter😂
In the trash East? lmao and with a fellow future superstar in Collins running the pick and roll? Luka played with has been trash and his entire starting line up got traded half way through the season. you crazy af
Trae young is a grown ass man coming into this league, he’s got all the tools he needs
That behind the back through the legs that’s insane
So the hawks get Trae Young and they get the mavs first rounder this season??? Big W
Steve Pineda but they lost Luca
Big Win .. a lottery pick 9 + Top 5 PG Trae Young = Big WIN
@@johnc9793 That pick is top 5 protected. With Mav's position, the Hawks may get the 6 or 7th pick.
I guess Reddish will suit the team well or White as a backup point guard plus SG
@@user-ro1ko7nw5e whats kinda funny is the hawks pick is in a better position than the mavs pick
They traded luka for Trae and Cam Reddish
I hope to see trae in playoff next year
So damn glad to have him on the team
i love watching trae play
It's funny how everyone was getting on him for his slow start but he was arguably the best Rookie in the NBA over the last 40 games. If he can improve his shot selection that Hawks team is going to be so fun to watch next season
Still working on that shot selection part, lol. Great player though.
Smooth trae have a good day representing that trae
He's very unpredictable and has an arsenal of handles. Prospect of *MAYBE* one of the best PG in the league 5 years from now. Amazing passer, dribbler, smart shot taking... Kid has it all!!!
So many clutch shots from this kid. I never thought much of him until I watched his rookie year. Wait until he puts on some muscle weight!
so many clutch baskets... the TRAE WAY!
I love he!
Better than Lonzo Ball.
Isnt every one??? Including isaac bonga!!!
Offcourse better than lonzo nd simmons
Not defensively.
@@kevinmoy2175 lonzo sucks ass on offense but kind of makes up for it on defense. Although he is only good at passing the ball cuz he knows he cant shoot
@Mr Bigchest yeh but he tries to be stephen curry and misses everyshot
Remember they said he would flop like Jimmer Ferdette? Me neither
I remember they said he would be in China in a few years 😂😂
He's so good.
Trae Young Really Looking Like Curry With Deep Threes
james wheeler 🤨
@@Mark-gn8dj i never comment on the videos but i watch them this was on my watch later list
when we compare him to curry we just mean he has limitless range with the ball in his hands and everyone gets defensive and its like bro traes 20 and doing this ..curry wasn't doing this until he was 24...imagine trae in 5 years....hes not close to his max...and he can pass like lebron….maybe one day like nash or magic....If Collins plays more than 61 games the hawks win like 35 games easy this year....and their not even a real team...traes that damn good..
@@razkable Trae Young will never be better than steph curry if we compare him to steph has amazing handles could shoot he could drive he could do anything trae is still developing into that type of person
He makes getting the shot off look even easier than Curry. Trae has some sneaky quickness and good moves. We'll see if he can keep it up like Curry has for 6+ years. Being this good this early might be good, or maybe he gains some weight and slows down, early. His scalp looks like it's 50 years old, already, so I hope that's not a bad sign.
I’m so happy he proved me wrong after I thought he was a bust. Ice Tra3 🥶🥶🥶
His spin move is of a different level
He reminds me of tht one player on a team when u playing my career n always try’s to keep it a close game
Trae a beast! Big next year
I use to watch this boys highlights when he was in Oklahoma
Three or four game winning shots in his rookie season plus creative assists and impressive dribbling. The kid is a freak.
He’s my favorite player and he’s so good
Trae Young is the the best pound for pound in 2018 NBA draft.
In the trash East? lmao and with a fellow future superstar in Collins running the pick and roll? Luka played with has been trash and his entire starting line up got traded half way through the season. you crazy af
@@roberto5red5rocky85 Trae is way more clutch than Luka, Ill agree that Luka is more developed atm but Trae is going to be a better player. You can just see it.
@@razatiger22 In todays NBA do you want a 6'8 Playmaking/Scoring Small Forward (Lebron,Kd,Kawhi) or a undersized scoring guard (Lillard,Curry,Kyrie) ??? your answer will show your basketball knowledge...
@@roberto5red5rocky85 Luka hasn't shown that hes anywhere near Lebron, KD or Kawhi and and neither has Trae with the others. What i do know is that Trae has a better eye for passing than Kyrie, Lillard and Curry at the same age and his shooting is on pace with all of them. Luka cant even sniff the defense that LBJ, KD and Kawhi provide which is important at the forward position, hes also not as strong as those or athletic. Right now however im gonna take Trae, because he impressed me far more than Luka who has already played 3 years with pros prior to his NBA debut.
@@razatiger22 Funny you say that since Luka's numbers are much better then KD and Leonards rookie years. Also Luka and Lebron had almost identical numbers their rookie year. Your point goes right out the window, lmao . this is to easy Actually better Lebron was 20.9 5.5 and 5.6.... Luka was 21 7.8 and 6. Luka was better at scoring, assisting and rebounding. He is even a better defender finishing with a higher defensive rating in his rookie year then Lebron in his rookie year. Actually he was even better at 3pt percentage and overall FG percentage. So when you say that Luka hasnt shown hes anywhere near Lebron can you further elaborate, with facts?
🥶ICE TRAE🥶
trae young think he playing park 💀
5:12 thats a grown man move
Yup. I knew before I even clicked the time stamp 🤝😤
Cold blooded assassin who plays with so much confidence.
Just BC of the hawk trae young is one of my favorite player
Fav player
Wait To His Sophomore Season He’s Gonna Go Crazy Watch 👀🔥🙌🏽💪🏽 #IceTrae #TrickyTrae #KeepThatSameEnergy
He really going to show out next season if he doesn't win ROTY! Just to show everyone what's up...
Cant wait to watch his sophmore year
He’s going to make a lot of people look foolish in his career. Nasty moves
Rip lamarcus aldridge
Best player 🔥🔥🔥🔥
So clutch
Ice Trae cold blooded
His passing and shooting is on point! If he wants to get even better, he should really control his turnovers. Last time I saw he had the 3rd most turnovers this season, right behind westbrook and harden. But overall, he had a very impressive rookie season!
He also was 3rd in assists
@@joestuehmer7967 True, but his assist to turnover ratio was pretty subpar. It's true that he is the main facilitator of the team and turnovers will happen, but if he was just more efficient, then he will definitely become a more serious threat on the court.
Even Iverson averaged 4 turnovers a game his rookie year.. It’s like u people don’t realize he’s a rookie playing the toughest position in the league of course he’s not gonna be perfect right off the bat but to average over 8 assists as a rookie isn’t something that happens often I can’t even remember the last rookie who did that.. Had to be over 20 years ago
@@joestuehmer7967 Of course I know he's not perfect. He's a rookie, I know that. I'm just pointing out stuff that I think would make him an even better player. It's called 'constructive criticism'.
I hope he has less but he's a point guard that handles the offense so he's gonna have a lot
That bull vs hawk game was insane
So fucking clutch, crazy that all these highlights are from the same season, his ROOKIE season btw
TREA WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YASSSSSSSSS SIRRRRRRRRRRRR U ALREADY KNOWWWWWWWWW PERRRRIIIOOOOODDDTTTTTT
What a star, tray came to Celtics, please ❤💪💪💪💪
“Keep that same energy”
@Mr. Davario P. why was he robbed? i thougt the best rookie gets the award, not the second best
@@mmaattiicc1114 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely ROY! I loved how he improved throughout the season we really got something special brewing in the ATL.
Luka is the best rookie since Bron statistically.
That_Canuck_God that’s nice but we will see how that translate to wins.
Cash PRICE why?
Gooooooot eeeeemmmmm!!! Trae Young!!! Traaaaaamendous!!!! It's the score & one more for Trae T L!!! TRAAAAAAE TTTT
LLL FOOOOR THREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Hawks PA Ryan Cameron knows b-ball!
i miss the classic KYLE KORVER FOR THREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Yeah, I must agree. Hopefully the team will ascend from here.
Bruh funnily enough, I miss the Za zaaa Pachuliaaaa
@@cort44800 Yeah Zaza had some moments in Atlanta.
Cortlin Jackson lmao 😂 those were the days
I remember him from my school when I was a freshman. He was from Norman North high school.
🔥🔥🔥
He is unreal! Hawks are good for awhile.
I'm calling it TRAE YOUNG BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA
Trae young has been my favorite player for a while and he is gonna be the next curry but better when he gets his defense up he be one the best point guards in the league
Y’all left out his best pass , behind the back to Huerter for 3
Bro, he did that 3 times in one game lol. Same set up and same spots if i remember correctly
Trae sees the game so much better than a lot of rookies. His play making and ball handling are his best skills. You don't see that in a rookie PG that often. He could be like Mark Price or Steve Nash if he gets more efficient scoring.
Look at his stats compared to some star point guards. The scary thing is he WAS solidly efficient on the team everyone predicted to be by far the worst in the league. Compare him to Kemba Walker for example.
Ice trae ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
ICE TRAE ❄
Love this kid hope people stop disrespecting this kid
Stop comparing him. He is a Trae Young type player.
what a play by vince 5:12
He read the spin
You can tell how clutch trae is
Got to admit, I slept on this cat. Young is hella nice. And very clutch too.
He reminds me of Damon Stoudemire before the injuries...Their rookie season stats are damn there identical
Its crazy cuz he was doin the same thing in college
I like that he has that gritty street style . Very AI ish
Trae is good, but boy needs a barber ASAP
Leave his baby hair alone
Atlanta looking good for next year
Sharife x JJ off the bench
Trae Young will be an ALL-STAR in 3 years! He's unbelievable good as a rookie with a vision and passing ability of Steve Nash!
He will be a All Star next year he's easily better than Lowry
@Gavin Vincent All he has to do is be better than Lowry. If he's close to as good as he was the 2nd half (which is usually when most rookies show who they are) he will be there next year.
Trae CLUTCH
TRAEWAY
Cool video guys
Dude is gone be a force later on. He reminds me of Steve Nash the way he probes.
Where is the buzzer to spurs from the logo???
3:01 mark is the sickest pass of the year💯
Trae got that clutch gene
That's it. I'm a Trae Young fan now.
🐐
Ice trae
Træ young
Kid stole my moves escape dribble floaters! We didn’t have to many high flyers at our ymca coming up so we all had to learn to be crafty.
What a plae by Tray
Lol it's Trae not tray but 🤷♂️
@@averyb2622 kk yeah i know, i made fun with play and Trae, the "ay" and the "ae"
This kid has such a quick release
