Trae saw every type of coverage in College and the way he masterfully was able to figure out and beat the different defensive schemes thrown at him, you just knew he was a special player. Terry might never get to Trae's level but that's a high bar to reach and he doesn't have to reach it to become a really good NBA player and one of the best in his class.
So true.
IMO, Trae Young willl lead the league in scoring and assist one year, ala Nate "Tiny" Archibald. He's got that game.
Tyrell Terry may not be THAT dude, but he'll be a winner.

Strengths: Sharp shooting point guard with a slight frame but a ton of upside if his body develops …
Very cerebral and focused player with great maturity from a mental standpoint …
“Slick”. Advanced offensive skill set … One of the purest shooters in this year’s draft … His release is clean, and concise …
“Makes it look easy” … When he has time to get set and release the ball, he rarely misses … Quick and consistent shooting motion … Rarely forces up bad shots, and shows an excellent feel for the game … His passing ability is also very impressive as he shows innate vision and creativity …
Makes his teammates better … Shows an excellent understanding of playing the pick and roll and can facilitate for teammates as well as come off screen for pull ups … Has the ability to make plays for his teammates as his passing ability sets up opportunities …He can spot teammates and drop the ball on a dime in the full court … Anticipates the game extremely well, on both ends of the floor …
Sees plays before they happen, leading to breakaway steals, as well as passing teammates open for easy baskets … Pushes the ball up the floor well and sees the entire floor making excellent decisions … Solid ability to utilize runners in the lane, over the trees, to avert blocked shots …
His 89% FT shooting confirms his elite level shooting stroke … Solid foot speed and quickness allows him to get by defenders and creates separation for scoring opportunities … Excellent ball handler, who is solid at getting by defenders off the bounce and can split double teams and handle full court pressure with ease … Also shows a solid ability to stop on a dime and pull up for shots … Despite lack of strength, plays with toughness and seems to fight through contact well … Finishes with either hand around the basket … Has sneaky athleticism, with the ability to get up and dunk when he gets the right momentum and is able to gather his feet … Has toughness, as shown by his surprising 4.5 rebounds per game … Has a fearless demeanor … Competitive player who plays with fire and passion … Never shies away from big moments, and seems to perform well at the end of games, when the pressure intensifies … One of the high risk/reward picks for this year’s draft who may have jumped the gun on a NBA career, but
if his body comes around, watch out!
