Trae Young Is Absurd, When Used Correctly



Trae Young Is Absurd, When Used Correctly

There’s something that most of you aren’t realizing and that’s that Trey young is ramping up his play as we head into this new year and is doing so in an exceptional way when we look at his splits from month to month you can see that every month try has improved in

Every major stat category and in the month of December he’s been on a rooll putting up 30 points a night with 12 assists to go along with it while converting 47% of his shots from the field and 42% from Deep yeah to say he’s a walking bucket right now would be an

Understatement as he’s more of a walking generator because not only is he scoring in bunches for himself but he’s also setting up his teammates for great looks as well showing you how a point guard is supposed to execute on the floor during this Banda games in December Trey joined

The history books with Oscar Robertson as the only two players to scored 30 points while dishing got 10 assists in seven games straight these numbers are truly great and whatnot but like many of you are probably thinking or saying to yourself are these empty stats now

Usually I would say yes but let me give you a different perspective young can’t simply will this team to wins all by himself as basketball is a team sport so he needs the help from his supporting cats as well when you watch these Atlanta Hall games you can see just how

Much Trey affects the game and sets up his teammates for Success so it’s now all about finding the right pieces and hoping guys step up to the plate to help this team get back on track when Trey gets going in his Groove well that’s when you see these threes where he just

Walks down the defender doting it right in their eyes but it’s really when he use these High screens where things get quite interesting usually you’ll see players come off the screens with momentum to get into the shot but if you watch Trey he used the screen simply as

A wall to hide behind so instead of coming off the screen completely he’ll use that one dribble towards the screen to get the ball into a shooting pocket so as the defense is sitting there waiting for him to come off they’re just too late to contest as young is already

Firing it up from 29 ft defenses will fall victim to this countless at times because not only are you convinced he’s going to run off the screen but when you go under it well you’re really doomed because this gives young nothing but time and opportunity to let it

Fly not every time you’ll see Trey use the screen as a brick wall of protection so this one used the momentum to get downhill to put Defenders on their heels so when a big switches onto him as he runs off with aead of Team any subtle

Movement will shift him and that was a money ball with no worries at the defense other times when Trey comes off he doesn’t necessarily have the angle to the basket that he wants so this one he pulls it back out to ISO the big man on the switch and after feeding this step

Back you can see just how much space this generates from yic and with ease Yung can knock you down from Beyond The Arc now you’re probably wondering like okay why is this so important it’s just a normal three-pointer from a well-known three-point shooter and hey I understand

What you’re saying but wait one second and let me show you something when you watch this play right here from Young do you see all the things that happened in such little time well if you don’t let’s rewind it back so we can all really analyze everything that happens when

Trey used this ghost screen set by a conu you can see the double Blitz him aggressively so now with two Defenders on young aangul is able to float into this space with ease if you look at yakum he’s rotating back late so it makes portal shift over to take away the open roll

So Trey Zips this no look pass down to Capella in this dunker spot and now he can get inside for the bully ball slam opposing team’s defensive shift completely when Trey starts operating off these screens so when you see him crowded by two brilant Defenders and

With Cam Thomas sinking in to take away capella on the roll it opens up sadique Bay on this opposite slot spot for an easy connection from Deep this is all created by his high level of three-point shooting but also since he can carve the defense up with his handle when getting

Downhill it makes the defense gravitate towards him heavily which in turn opens up many different opportunities on the season young is connecting on 38% of his nine three-point attempts per game so you can’t afford to leave him open from the perimeter or else you might as well

Chalk up three points on the board he’s not only one of the best space creators in the league but his shot creation is one of the greatest assets of his game it doesn’t matter if Defender try and pick him up high to take away looks from Deep his Herky jerky movements make the

Defense bite so hard on the Combos and now with about 4T of space it’s just tooo much room for Trey to comfortably pull pull up from 31 ft isn’t that pretty crazy that we can even say comfortably pull up from 31 ft I know right but the thing with Trey is that he

Is such a tough shot maker that once he sees a glimpse of light for him to fire it out the cannon well guess what he going to let that sucker blow most people think that being smooth with the handle is what get you separation from the defender but if you watch some of

The best shot creators in the NBA you’ll quickly see that it’s abrupt movements that keep the Defenders dancing on the string and before they can get back in position they’re already watching the shot in motion if you watch here the quick crossover leaves Dylan Brooks looking at the

Sideline like Jordan P searching for baddies but it doesn’t just stop there as he feeds Brooks this nasty step back which makes Brooks take a seat and now was an n one from D these jittery moves and combos leak into his mid-range shooting as well because you never know

When one of these will be dished out so with that Uber quick In-N-Out used it makes green bite dumb hard and now Trey has that gap of space to rise up for the jumper sometimes it’s not even a flashy combo that he’ll Feed The Defenders to

Get them out of line as if this shooting is such a threat to Defenders that a simple stop on a dime up fake will get them on that trampoline and that’s all she wrote high alert high alert high alert that’s all I can say is stay on

High alert because if you’re not careful and you let him get hot well his shooting can give the defense nightmares and even further than that now he can beat you off the dribble to get downhill and use this soft touch to drop in the buckets this inside scoring a tray is

Rather interesting he’s not going to totally rip your defense apart by getting all the way to the rim but with his eloquent touch on the floaters he’s to chop down the defense with these high arching floats which he converts at a 53% rate on his 109 attempts so far to

Get him off that three-point line defenses will funnel him inste a paint by chasing him over the screen but with his speed he’s able to get around this screen and downhill with a quickness and then right before meeting the big and Brook Lopez tro would have floated over

The top of him you truly can’t afford to have big step up on him or be the backline of Defense to guard him because if you don’t step up will Tre can get right into his Groove to knock it down but let’s say they do step out above the

Line to pick him up well with one quick Cross Trey can get that step on them towards the basket and with no one stepping up to the plate to bother him is straight money from about 10 feet out when Defenders do shift over to stop the

Float it might seem like a good thing as they scare him away from the shot attempt but with all this attention catered to him a conu is able to sneak back door behind the defense and young can drop it off with ease for him to go

Score inside you must stay on your toes at all time as he’s able to Dime it off so well off these drives that Defenders will pause for a split second as it seems as if he’s going to pass it right back but as you can see this opens up a

Easy float and close off the glass but hey let’s say the defense chooses to commit to trade when it looks like he’s going to have a wide open look at The Rim what the jokes on them as he can blend this float into a pass out to the

Corner and B the being it’s money team sometimes when he gets deep into the paint off the dribble the defense will collapse on him fully to where he can’t make that lob over the top but with his absurd vision and playmaking on the court he can still find capella on the

Roll with that wraparound dump instead of the lob over the top these dimes come out of nowhere as the defense really never knows when he’ll zip into a Defender for the easy bucket or if he’ll decide to take it in for himself that floater dismantle defenses the assist

Collapses the Empire and the three-point shooting Snipes him out the game right now Trey young is playing amazing and this uptrend in his Encore production should make for a great year for him for the Atlanta Hawks they need to shift the direction they’re headed in right now or

Else they could see themselves outside the playoffs and under huge scrutiny Trey Young’s great play will go unnoticed and he will be the one to blame for their lack of success succcess success success

Trae young has been turning up his level of play as of late & unlike most would say, Trae young is not the problem for the Atlanta Hawks… The way he creates opportunities for his guys to score & his scoring himself is so valuable, that its really up to this Atlanta Hawks Organization to put the right pieces around him. Will Trae Young and The Atlanta Hawks turn things around or will they fall short once again??

  1. Trae is a weird player to evaluate, he is an amazing scorer and floor general yet I would hate him on my team, he simply isn’t a winning player. An undersized guard who is ball dominant and doesn’t have good off ball movement.🤔
