Trae Young Joins Wizards, Elevates Young Stars

0:00On this March 3rd, here's what's making headlines for the NBA. Trey Young is finally set to debut with the Washington Wizards nearly two months after leaving the Atlanta Hawks. The only NBA team he ever knew. The All-Star point guard brings his career average of 9.8 assists per game to a young squad that's relied on shared scoring duties. Young's elite court vision will transform how teammates like Alex R, Balao Kulavali, and Rookie will Riley operate on offense. These rising players have handled creation by committee so far, but now they get a true floor general to set them up. Balao Kulavali stands to gain the most right away as a raw athlete with explosive off-ball movement and vertical leap. He's thrived on alley ups and cuts lately, even hitting a career high 5-3 pointers in a recent game. And Young's lob passage should make him a... Constant rim-finishing threat. Rookie will Riley, a 6-foot-10 wing with strong on-ball skills, could explode off the bench as a secondary creator.

1:00The Wizards already trust him to run the second unit, and with Young Handling primary playmaking, Riley can focus on his scoring spots without needing. As many touches... Meanwhile, center Alex Tsar fits perfectly as a role man and screen-setter. His true shooting has jumped to 55.4% this season by emphasizing efficient interior looks and Young's pinpoint passes should. Feed him easy buckets alongside veterans when everyone's healthy.
