Rayford Trae Young (born September 19, 1998)[1] is an American professional basketball player for the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).[2] He played college basketball for the Oklahoma Sooners.[3] In 2017, he tied the then-record in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I single-game assists with 22.[a] Young became the only player to ever lead the NCAA in both points and assists in a single season.[5] Nicknamed "Ice Trae",[6][7] he was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2018 NBA draft with the fifth pick, and later traded to the Atlanta Hawks, along with a future first-round pick, for the draft rights to Luka Dončić. He joined Dončić in a unanimous selection to the 2019 NBA All-Rookie First Team.[8] He is a two-time NBA All-Star.

Early life

Born in Lubbock, Texas, Trae is the son of Candice and Rayford Young, who played basketball at Texas Tech and professionally in Europe.[9][10] He has a younger brother, Tim, and two younger sisters, Caitlyn and Camryn. Young also has an uncle who played college basketball in the NAIA.[11] Trae was raised in Pampa, Texas, by his mother and paternal grandparents, as his father played basketball overseas.[12][13]

During his junior year, he significantly improved his game, averaging 34.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists as he led the team to a 28–4 record, winning the regional title and placing second in the 2016 Oklahoma Class 6A championship game.

College career

At the start of the 2017 season, on November 12, Young recorded 15 points, 10 assists, and six rebounds in a win over the Omaha Mavericks. Three days after his college debut, he recorded 22 points and a then season-high 13 assists in a win over the Ball State Cardinals. On November 26, Young recorded a season-high 43 points and seven assists in a 90–80 win over the Oregon Ducks. That game had his name draw multiple comparisons to Stephen Curry in terms of his playing style.[18][19] On December 19, Young tied (with three others) the then-NCAA single-game assists record with 22, while also recording 26 points in a 105–68 win against the Northwestern State Demons.[20] Throughout the season, Young rose from being a late first-round or a second-round pick to being a potential top-three pick for the 2018 NBA draft.[21][22][23] He also garnered praise from both LeBron James and Stephen Curry for his season with Oklahoma.[24] Young, however, ran into a rough patch when the West Virginia Mountaineers' Press Virginia defense forced him into eight turnovers on January 5, 2018. Furthermore, his individual defense has been rated as "poor".[25] However, Young would recover with a season-high 43 points and 11 rebounds with seven assists in a 102–97 overtime win over the TCU Horned Frogs a week later on January 13. Three days later, Young would wind up with a season-high 12 turnovers in a loss to the Kansas State Wildcats, which surpassed his previous season-high a few weeks ago. On January 20, Young recorded a new career-high 48 points (albeit on 14-on-39 overall shooting) in a close 83–81 overtime loss to the rival Oklahoma State Cowboys. He recovered from that with a 26-point (on 7-on-9 shooting) and nine-assist effort in an 85–80 win over the fifth-ranked Kansas Jayhawks on January 23.

Young finished his freshman regular season leading the country in many statistics: assists (271), points (848), points per game (27.4), assists per game (8.7), and assist percentage (48.6%). The 848 points scored in the Big 12 would break the conference's record for most points scored by a freshman player, which was previously held by Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley. On March 7, 2018, Young was announced as the winner of the Wayman Tisdale Award for National Freshman of the Year by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).[26] At the end of the regular season for Oklahoma, Young was also named Big 12's Freshman of the Year and was a member of the All-Big 12's First Team.[27] In addition, he was also brought up as a consensus member of the All-American First Team, which was named throughout multiple organizations. Young also joined 2018's top two selections Deandre Ayton and Marvin Bagley III as the first consensus All-American First-Team to have three freshman players be named there. On March 15, Young recorded 28 points, seven assists, and five rebounds in an 83–78 overtime loss to the seventh-seeded Rhode Island Rams. He became the second freshman to record similar numbers of points in an NCAA Tournament game, with Chris Paul being the first player back in 2004.[28]

Following Oklahoma's loss in the 2018 NCAA men's basketball tournament, Young announced his intention to forgo his final three seasons of collegiate eligibility and declare for the 2018 NBA draft.[29]

On August 3, 2021, Young agreed to a five-year max extension with the Hawks worth up to $172 million and possibly $207 million.[54]

2021–22 season: First All-NBA selection

On November 14, 2021, Young scored a then season-high 42 points, along with 8 rebounds and 10 assists, to lead Atlanta to a 120–100 victory over the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks.[55] On January 3, 2022, Young scored a career-high 56 points, along with 14 assists, in a 136–131 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.[56] From November 22 to January 7, Young had 17th consecutive 25-point games, breaking a tie with Dominique Wilkins for the franchise record.[57][58]

On January 27, Young was selected for the 2022 NBA All-Star Game once again as a backcourt starter.[59] On February 3, Young scored 43 points in a 124–115 win against the Phoenix Suns to end their 11-game winning streak.[60] On February 26, Young scored 41 points and delivered 11 assists on 17-of-24 shooting from the field as Atlanta beat the Toronto Raptors 127–100; it was Young's 10th career game with at least 40 points and 10 assists, passing Michael Jordan for ninth-most all-time.[61] On March 13, Young scored 33 of his 47 points in the first half in a 131–128 win over the Indiana Pacers.[62] The next day, Young scored 46 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and delivered 12 assists in a 122–113 win over the Trail Blazers, becoming the first player in the NBA this season to score 40+ on back-to-back nights and the first to do so since Bradley Beal in February 2020.[63] On March 22, Young scored 45 points and delivered 8 assists in a 117–111 win over the New York Knicks at the Madison Square Garden.[64] At the conclusion of the regular season, Young became the second player in NBA history to lead the league in total points and assists in a season, joining Tiny Archibald.[65]

On April 15, during the Hawks' 107–101 play-in tournament win over the Cleveland Cavaliers to secure the No. 8 seed in the 2022 NBA playoffs, Young logged 38 points and 9 assists. He scored 32 of his points in the second half.[66] In Game 1 of the first round against the Miami Heat, Young scored a career playoff-low 8 points on 1-for-12 shooting (0-for-7 from three-point range) and had more turnovers (six) than assists (four). His 8.3% shooting was tied for the worst field goal percentage of his career.[67] The Hawks would go on to lose to the Heat in five games.[68]

2022–23 season

As Young entered his fifth NBA season, the Atlanta Hawks decided to pull off a trade receiving Dejounte Murray of the San Antonio Spurs in the process.[69] The trade improved the Hawks' defense and reduced Young's offensive burden.[70][71] His season began on October 19, 2022, against the Houston Rockets. In his first game, he put up 23 points and 13 assists. They went on to win that game 117–107 where his newly acquired teammate played his defensive role well racking up 5 steals. Five games later in the season, Young put up 42 points in a 115–123 loss against the Milwaukee Bucks.[72] On November 25, Young scored a season-high 44 points in a 128–122 loss against the Houston Rockets.[73]
