Trae Young drops 35 and 11 in third pro game

But these so called experts who influence a lot of people put an unfair stigma on the kid, when they don't watch any actual games and just base their takes on how short Trae Young is.

He's a top talent and should be treated as such. GO YOUNG

Did it pretty efficiently, too, shooting over 50% from the field with only 1 turnover.

Great game. Didn't see this coming from him this quickly. Good sign.

He single handedly destroyed the Cavs in Q2 and Q3.

Let's agree that both Dallas and Atlanta have two great young prospects on their teams.

Zeke Thomas has had a lot of those kinda games too. Can't win with em when it counts.

I changed the title in order to make it less inflammatory. Trae Young had a great game, but there's no need to rile up people who weren't his biggest fans.

Honestly, Doncic and Trae should have gone 1 and 2 in today's NBA. But one is a Euro and the other is only 6 feet 2 so apparently that's a no-no.

That's fair. I was targeting the media even though there are tons of Trae haters on the internet as well

That's how I had them on my big board, but Trae #1 and Doncic #2

The other one bro.

He wasn’t doing it at 20 years old (recently turned) like Trae. And Isaiah has nowhere near the passing ability / vision. Trae’s also got what 5 inches on him?

I watched the entire game. It looked like a blowout in the Cavs favor but the Hawks never gave up. Fantastic game from the 2nd quarter on

But realgm posters told me he sucks.


Face it this guy gets hate because he was traded for the European golden boy. Young has potential to be an outstanding player
