Trae Young has changed – a little at least. Certainly he has always been an underestimated passer and his volume of assists was strong last season (10.8). But after his big scoring failures at the start of the season (three out of five matches above 30 points), he has calmed down a lot.
The one who was a formidable scorer crashes irregularly, and is only averaging 21.4 points this season. In November, it did not even reach the 20 point mark on average (19.1).
Irregular in his address, it is as a conductor that he is now doing one after another. Over the last 16 matches, he has served 10 or more assists twelve times. And five times more than 15.
Last night, the Hawks missed several open long-range shots and his assist total could have been higher (15 anyway).
As a result, Trae Young is the first player since John Stockton (1994-95) to have more than 12 assists per game. Of course, the Jazz did it over an entire season where the Hawk has so far only done it over a quarter of a season. But still, it's been thirty years since any NBA player did it and Trae Young is therefore on an impressive footing.
Evolution of a player, revelation of what is his true DNA or simply an adaptation to an erratic address this year? In any case what we see in Georgia is as interesting as it is intriguing.
