I know there are still many skeptics of Trae Young out there. But man, this guy has the potential to be the best offensive player in this league. The way he sliced up a great Orlando defense was so impressive. His floater game is already top-tier, he has crafty finishes, knows how to draw contact, his handles and hesitation moves are likewise top-tier already and can get anywhere he wants on the court. Excellent court vision and some of his passes are due to openings only he can see. Shot selection is much better. If he can just become more consistent, as most players do with age, watch out.

Look, Booker is clearly a talented player but – as many young players do – he needs guidance in the NBA. The Suns were a terrible environment for a talented player that was asked to do a lot offensively on a crappy team because nothing else was there. Now we are starting to see what maturation and a more stable environment can do. Booker has the chance to be a top-tier offensive player and a non-terrible defender. Here's to hoping that he can continue down this path.
