Steve Nash is kind of the complete opposite spectrum when it comes to PG play. Steve Nash super smart with the ball, had basically a 3:1 assist/TO ratio his entire prime, his shot selection was as elite as it came which led to his multiple 50/40/90 seasons. Young is a chucker that has a horrific assist/TO ratio. Theyre two completely different players.
The lies man
like all over the place
Also, saying that Tyus and Trae compare well athletically means that either you are going by light skin colour comp, have a bad eyes, or are just lazy.
And I love Tyus, had him 8th that year and was his strongest supporter in this board next to ManualRam.
I don't get where the lies are? Nash was elite of the elite when it comes to passing and shot IQ. Nash was a guy you always wanted to shoot more because of how efficient he was. I'm sorry that sounds like the complete opposite on how someone would describe Young.
Nash was absolutely elite as an off-the-dribble shooter but he wasn't shy with the shots and decisions he made, esp while playing in Dallas he did turn the ball over a ton, which is obviously normal with his playing stlye, we aren't talking about Jose Calderon here, Nash was efficient, but he took risks, much like Young does.
Talking about his shot selection been elite, he had amazing traits as a shooter but he was a wild player, which was generally great for his teams, he wasn't the consumate floor general or a shy player/risk avoider
Trae probably gambles even more, but again, he is 19 and is carrying an offense by himself, you have to take everything into consideration, you in general are treating him as if he didn't have good vision when for a frosh PG he has shown unbelievable ability in that sense, even with the turnovers, he might try too hard at times, but the circumstances are what they are.
Young isn't just a gunner, if you don't see how elite his court vision is for his age/size, I don't know what to tell you, he might have been that type earlier on or in HS, I have no clue, but for the most part this year he has been literally the best passer for a frosh PG I have seen since Chris Paul (or Rubio if you want to include intl prospects).
The shooting is an added bonus in his case, obviously if you draft him you gotta account for his style of play, but again, he can scale it down thanks to his ability to shoot it, he said it himself in an interview, that he was more of a pure shooter early in his career and has developed lately as a PG, he has been absolutely deadly whenever they play him off-ball, which isn't often due to his team's limitations (nobody else can dribble basically) but in the NBA and next to another player that can find him, he has shown certain skills, footwork, ability to find spots, etc and overall touch to think that even though he probably won't be close to Curry, who is the best off-ball Guard ever probably, he is gonna be real good at it.
You can think about him playing off guys like Booker, Simmons/Fournier, obviously LeBron, and also Simmons, all those are pretty nice scenarios for him, having qualms about him as a top3-5 pick due to his physical limitations or doubts about him developing there (I think his burst is really underrated, his first step is good, and his touch is good, but I get the concerns about him been frail, even though he has some potential with his hips+frame to be bigger and stronger) I can understand, but havign doubts about him as a top10 pick is just beyond me, he might flop (like almost everybody other than a couple guys might) but he is the right risk to take 100%
