His 19/9/3.5 per36 is elite for a rookie true PG.

CP3 - 16/8/5
Stockton - 11/10/2.5
Kidd - 12.5/8.4/5.8
Payton - 9.4/8.5/4
Curry- 17.4/6/4.4
Nash- 11.2/7.3/3
Zeke- 18.1/8.4/3.1

It's his efficiency that's the problem, but he has been much more under control and efficient of late.

His efficiency has been getting better of late. Not jacking up as many bad shots

On other news, Looka here:

In Trae Young's last 5 games, he is averaging 16 pts, 8 asts, and 4 rebs on 46.4% fg, 50% 3pt, 75% ft on only 29 minutes a game.
Per 36 it would be a very solid 20/10/5. Not bad for a rookie point guard.

Dude has been great lately, the two biggest changes I've noticed is that that he's completely taken the long three point bombs out of his game unless he's REALLY feeling it(see that cold blooded 3 he hit in overtime last night), and that he has been becoming more and more comfortable with John Collins on the floor, taking advantage of the pressure that Collins provides when he rolls to the rim.

His driving ability continues to impress as well. He gets trapped a ton, but what happens when he doesn't and is allowed to get into the paint? I'll just leave this amazing statistic here. He is 4th in the league in drives per game over this span, with an ABSURD 19 assists and only 3 turnovers. No other player in the league has come even close to that ratio.
