“Trae Young could really achieve a feat no player has accomplished in nearly 50 years”: The Hawks star can become only the 2nd player in history to lead the NBA in total points and assists

Trae Young could become only the 2^nd player in NBA history to finish the regular season first in total points scored and assists.

After the Hawks’ surprising run to the conference finals in the playoffs last season, ATL was hyped up to have an exceptional performance in the 2021-2022 regular season. Much to everyone’s surprise, Nate McMillan’s boys have failed to live up to everyone’s expectations. However, despite his team having a subpar campaign, Trae Young has been remarkable all season long.

Getting selected to his 2^nd All-Star Game this year, Ice Trae has been an assassin with the rock in his hands. Averaging 28.4 points (4^th in NBA) and 9.7 assists (3^rd in NBA), Young has quite safely solidified himself as one of the premier guards in the league.
