Trae Young has been one of the most prolific scorers in the league today. In only his first 4 years in the NBA, Ice Trae has already proven to be a potential MVP, and surely one of the future faces of the association.
Long before Young was shining in the league, and torched it up at the college basketball level, the shifty guard was dominating in high school. Playing for Norman North High School, Trae built up one of the greatest high school basketball careers of all time.
The ATL guard recorded 25/4/5 in his sophomore year, averaged 34.2/4.6/4.6 in his junior year, and improved his stats to a staggering 42.6/5.8/4.1 in his senior year. Apart from winning several player of the year awards, and regional titles, Young gave us one of the craziest mixtapes of all time.
Trae Young was COLD BLOODED in High School…sheesh
