Here you are, losers. Your desired Trae Young debut highlights. I could be making way better vids of way better players, but here I am, wasting time on this bust. Yeah, he’s already a bust. I’m tired of waiting a season or two before deciding that players haven’t lived up to their draft slot. I was right about John Wall, wasn’t I? I was. And I’m right about Young as well.
5 of 14 shooting is actually better than I thought he’d do. So good for him. He’s exceeded my exceedingly low expectations. That doesn’t mean he’s not a bust. He definitely is still a bust, and will be for the three years he manages to hang on in the NBA on name-recognition alone.
The NBA is already trying to artificially inflate his cachet. Supposedly, he had five assists. WRONG. On the last one, he didn’t even touch the ball on the possession before Vince Carter splashed a three. Last time I checked, everyone who gets an assist at least touches the ball on said possession. Did they change the rules? Did the NBA change the rules to benefit this questionably-haired scrubbust?
Now, back to the real highlights. Are you ready for Spencer Dinwiddie? You bet your bum you are.
