“Stephen Curry who? Trae Young is the best point guard this season”: NBA Twitter and Reddit lauds the Hawks star for leading in total points and assists while taking the toughest shots

Trae Young has been leading the league in total points as well as total assists, all while taking some of the hardest shots in the entire league.

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.

And the 23-year-old has managed to accomplish this while taking some of the hardest shots in the league.
