Trae Young has developed into one of the league’s deadliest scorers. An offensive maestro, Ice Trae has the ability to make himself and all his teammates better. Despite being only 6-foot-1 the Hawks’ shifty guard manages to drop 40-bombs on the teams with the best defense thanks to his incredibly deep bag of tricks.
Coming off an incredibly deep playoff run last year, ATL has had a difficult time replicating that success in the regular season. Amid their subpar performance in this campaign, Trae’s increase in production has been one of the very few positive takeaways this year.
Young is currently averaging a staggering 28.2 points (4th in NBA), 9.5 assists (3rd in NBA), 3.8 rebounds, and a steal per game so far. The 1,915 points he has scored, and the 649 assists he has dished out this season are the highest number of total points and assists throughout the NBA.
Trae Young is now 1st in total points scored and assists this season.

Hopefully, Young’s chances of getting selected into the All-NBA teams don’t get affected because of the Hawks’ position in the standings.
