Trae Young

Trae Young, born on September nineteenth, nineteen ninety-eight, is an American professional basketball player currently showcasing his talents with the Washington Wizards in the National Basketball Association (NBA). His journey began at the collegiate level, where he played for the Oklahoma Sooners during the 2017-18 season. In a remarkable display of skill, he tied the NCAA Division I single-game assists record with twenty-two assists, becoming the only player in history to lead the NCAA in both points and assists in a single season.

Young's professional career took off when he was selected by the Dallas Mavericks as the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. However, on the same day, he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, along with a future first-round pick, in exchange for the draft rights to Luka Dončić. This pivotal moment set the stage for Young's rise in the league.

In his rookie season, he made an immediate impact, earning a unanimous selection to the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2019. Over the years, Young has established himself as a formidable player, earning four NBA All-Star selections and leading the Hawks through three playoff runs, including a memorable trip to the conference finals in twenty twenty-one.
