I’ve been paying real close attention, and I don’t think I’ve seen even one person complain that Trae Young was snubbled for the three-point shootout during All-Star weekend. There have been a lot of other complaints involving a lot of other snubs (I agree, Davis Bertans definitely should’ve been an invited), but not even one…

Trae Young 23 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2019)
Repeatedly seeing the name “Trae” reminds me of the fact that, here in Wisconsin, there are no locations for the fast food chain “Cookout”, and thus, no opportunity to acquire what is known as a “Cookout Tray”. Allegedly one of the best deals in all of fast food, a Cookout Tray is an entree plus…

Trae Young might be one of the worst point guards in the league going off ESPN’s “real plus-minus” stat (a stat that is calculated through some combination of Ph.D.-level mathematics, alchemic sorcery, and hard drugs), but he does occasionally have a “good game” where he looks like a legitimate point guard who is legitimately good….

In the past few videos I have made for Trae Young, he has been reliant on his floater to score points. My opinion on floaters is well-known and shouldn’t need to be restated, but I will restate it anyway for the benefit of newcomers: floaters are a shot that is only taken when all your…

Here’s a thought experiment for you: is Dewayne Dedmon a BETTER three-point shooter than Trae Young? I’ll give you their respective shooting stats so you don’t have to look it up yourself. Trae Young: 0/3 this game, 69/239 (28.9%) for the season Dewayne Dedmon: 5/7 this game, 42/110 (38.1%) for the season Keep in mind…

Is Trae Young the second coming of Pistol Pete Maravich on the Hawks? I’m about to do some digging to find out, keeping in mind that I don’t watch a lot of old NBA film and most of my knowledge about these old heads is sourced from mainstream media and Wikipedia. Both Young and Maravich…

Just like the Trevor Ariza video I uploaded an hour ago (and which is sitting at zero views currently – I expected at least one or two), which depicted Ariza barely missing a triple-double (he was one rebound short), this video shows Trae Young just barely missing the triple-double cutoff of ten assists. And when…
Read MoreTrae Young 21 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/29/2018)
This video was made under false pretenses. In my unending naivety, I assumed that the box-score for this game would be correct, and that Trae Young had a near-double-double with 21 points and nine assists. Foolishly, I took the box-score at face value, thinking that the statistics it portrayed would be accurate. That was not…

Trae Young actually had, by my estimation, one of his most efficient scoring performances of the season in this game. He only scored sixteen points, but he was 7-of-11 from the field. The mathematically-inclined viewer will realize that making seven out of eleven shots results in a field goal percentage over 50%, somethin that Young…

The good news with Trae Young’s lackluster rookie season is that his counting stats still look pretty good. If he’s looking at the bigger picture, playing the long game, he’ll know that if you want to score 20,000 points in a career you can’t really take any time off. You have to score lots of…
