The Sporting NewsTrae Young's viral wraparound passes are the best example of the Hawks guard's basketball genius
It's been a bit of a slow start to the 2023-24 season for Trae Young, but he came to play against the Magic.
The two-time All-Star led the Hawks to victory with a season-best 41 points on 12-for-27 shooting from the field. He was much more effective in the first half than the second half, but he still made the biggest play of the night by setting up Dejounte Murray's game-winning 3.
Young's final assist was notable for a few reasons. The first (and most obvious) is that it helped the Hawks win the game to improve to 5-3 on the young season. The second is that the pass went viral because of how ridiculous it was. The third is that it put Young's basketball genius on full display.
Let's take a closer look because it deserves a deeper dive.
The details behind Trae Young's viral wraparound passesHere's a replay of the pass to appreciate it in all its glory:Spoiler:
Young says he does practice that, by the way.
"I've practiced that pass so many times that I know where it should be and how high it should be. Some would call it luck on how it got there into his chest, but I really work on those type of things. I do have a lot of trust in my teammates being in those positions, too.
"That's how you know we're getting better and having a really good offense."
Young has already pulled it off a few times this season. You should probably expect more to come.
