Trae Young · On a league-high 723 occasions, Trae Young has found a teammate for a score, creating a highlight or two through statistically-unrivaled vision. It could be argued that on March 4, 2025 — in a tightly-contested fourth quarter that would’ve left any mistake magnified — the Atlanta Hawks’ All-Star guard outdid even himself. Surveying the open floor immediately after retrieving the basketball, “Ice Trae” feasts eyes on a leaking teammate, presenting the opportunity at a pass of both high-risk and high-reward. In full trust of his abilities, Young slingshots a rainbow beyond the reach of three different Milwaukee Bucks defenders, ultimately hitting his newly-acquired swingman in stride for the ultimate thread-of-the-needle find. The Milwaukee Bucks’ superior late-game execution allowed them to deal Atlanta a loss, but Young, as he often does, stood among the showstoppers. Elite in putting 40 double-doubles on his 2024-25 game log, the do-it-all point guard added one here, collecting 28 points, 13 assists, one steal, and a 3-pointer in 35 minutes of play. · State of Mint
