"Young is entering his prime at 27-years-old, and he's proven to be one of the best playmakers in the league through the start of his career in Atlanta. In addition to his playmaking, the guard's finishing around the rim and ability to stretch the floor with his knock down shooting beyond the arc, the Oklahoma product applies plenty of pressure on opposing defenses."
"However, his shortcomings as a defender and age gap in comparison to the Wizards' young core added plenty of questions as to why Washington became motivated to get a deal done for Young quickly after being listed as the star's preferred landing spot. Not to mention the concern that his arrival could derail the development of players like Kyshawn George and Bub Carrington."
Trae Young is entering his prime at 27 and has established himself as an elite playmaker with strong finishing at the rim and reliable long-range shooting that stresses defenses. Concerns exist about his defensive shortcomings and the age gap with Washington's young core. Some feared Young's arrival could derail development of prospects such as Kyshawn George and Bub Carrington. President of Monumental Basketball Michael Winger expressed confidence that Young consistently makes teammates better and will contribute significantly to the team's player development program. Alex Sarr appears positioned to be a primary beneficiary of Young's playmaking. Decision-makers view Young's fit as largely positive.
