Trae Younger is a unbelievable NBA participant, and after 5 and a half seasons within the NBA, he’s on a Corridor of Fame path. Nevertheless it’s additionally true that Luka Doncic is clearly higher than him. A minimum of, to this point.
These two younger stars will perpetually be linked because the Atlanta Hawks drafted the Slovenian guard from Actual Madrid at No. 3 within the 2018 draft, then traded him to the Dallas Mavericks for Younger, who was picked at No. 5.
Right here’s what NBA followers and media tweeted when the deal went down:
A number of days eliminated, only a small reminder that all the pieces we thought on draft evening may very well be fallacious.
The Kings may have made the best choose with Bagley. Atlanta may have been proper to move on Doncic to maneuver down for Younger or whoever they get with the opposite choose.

Travis Schlenk overtly admitted that Luka Doncic was the best participant on his board however Tony Ressler favored Trae Younger extra. The Dallas Mavericks’ first spherical choose is what made Schlenk effective with making that deal. I’m okay with that.

Trae Younger is a strolling bucket. Sure im nonetheless slightly mad that we handed on Luka Doncic, however Younger is the very best scorer on this previous draft class. He’s excellent for right this moment’s NBA imo.
