Trae Young can score. This much is true. He's quick, got handles and likes to shoot. He's smart enough to keep hoisting from the outside, but I thought it was because of screens and space, not intellect, but maybe I'm just one of the 95%, not like boise.

I know he’s regressed a lot but can still shoot it. Is he just way slower than before? I’ve not watched much of him in the last few years.

I know he’s regressed a lot but can still shoot it. Is he just way slower than before? I’ve not watched much of him in the last few years.

He used to be a top tier defender and now he's a cone. I'd rather have Grayson Allen than Klay at this point. Grayson is better at creating his own shot but both are pretty poor defenders. Grayson can drive and finish while those days for Klay are over.
