Early in the season, Trae Young was extremely fond of taking extra-deep three-pointers. They never went in, but he kept shooting them anyway, and it made for a cool highlight when one of them finally did find the bottom of the net, so this unwise tendency of his was tolerated. Lately, I haven’t been noticing…

Trae Young 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/13/2019)
A 22-point, 8-assist statline sounds pretty okay for Trae Young until you realize that he had double the points and double the assists in his 49-point, 16-assist game on March 1. Then, this performance seems like worthless garbage. You could watch this video twice and still not get the same amount of hot Young action…
Read MoreTrae Young Triple Double 23 Pts/10 Rebs/11 Asts Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
From a pure field-goals-made perspective (the only perspective that I am capable of coming from), this Trae Young highlight video is not worth your time. Despite scoring 23 points and getting a triple-double (surprisingly, the first of his career), he only made four field goals out of fourteen attempts. Since made field goals comprise 90%…

The roof of State Farm Arena was a lonely place. But sometimes, a lonely place is just what one desires, Trae Young thought to himself as a chilly wind blew past him. He sat against one of an HVAC unit, his knees drawn up to his chest, gazing heavenward. Should he have done more? Could…
Read MoreTrae Young Career High 36 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2019)
When I started looking at tonight’s box-scores and saw that Trae Young had a career-high 36 points to go with ten assists, I was mildly excited. The video would be long, but the toil suffered in creating it would be worth it. Then, my eyes scanned over the list of stats, and I saw that…
Read MoreTrae Young Career High 36 Points/8 Threes/8 Assists Full Highlights (2/25/2019)
The main problem, I think, with Trae Young is his name. “Trae”. “Young”. That’s just not gonna cut it, not with names like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nerlens Noel, and Isaiah Briscoe (among countless others) occupying the league. He needs an upgrade. Let’s start with his first name. First things first, he needs an S in there…

I was thinking to myself, how often do 30/10 games happen in the NBA? Not very often, right? The vast majority of players in the NBA would be overjoyed to hit either one of those statistical marks, never mind both of them at the same frickin’ time. Keep in mind that I’m not talking about…

OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Trae Young was 6-of-19 from the field. Viewers who are watching this video on the night that the game took place might have a fresh memory of the box-score and not need such a basic reminder, but this video is not just for present-day viewers. It’s also for future viewers, and future…

As the trade deadline approached, the Hawks were rumored to be holding a fire-sale on all their veteran players. Basically everybody on the roster who had been in the league more than three years, except for Vince Carter, was up for grabs. Then, the deadline came and went, and the Hawks kept their roster mostly…

At the beginning of the season, I may have been somewhat of a “Trae Young Hater” (I prefer the term “Trae Young Realist”, myself, since the only player I hate for no reason is Marcus Smart). However, his strong play in the past five games has me coming around him a little bit, and it…
