Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young is finally getting some of the recognition that he deserves. The NBA released their list of the best players and Young has come in at No. 17 which feels somewhat right, given that Young is still in the very early stages of his career.
They rate him above the likes of Bam Adebayo, Zion Williamson, Bradley Beal, and Donovan Mitchell. Given that only one of these players has made it further in the playoffs than Young, there can be little argument with these rankings.
