What is Trae Young's ceiling?

[Real14]

Devin Booker.

There's a possibility but dont sleep on my boy D book tho.

[fsvr54]

Best player in the world.

[90sgoat]

Anywhere between Kemba Walker and Dame Lillard.

I can see Dame in him a lil.

Idk man

I understand that Luka is a more verstile player, but Trae right now is the better of the two.

I think Trae is gonna be better too. Luka would have to share the spotlight with bitch ass Zingis.

If Curry and Nash have a fusion it would be Trae Young. He really mastered those long distance 3 pointers, and also one of the best passers in the NBA. He just needs to improve his defense.

[Lebron23]

Pretty good handles for a point guard. He can also attack the rims with his tear drop shot. Very hard to defend because he made several 3 pointers near the center of the court. Beside Harden i think he's the leader in 4 points plays. (And1 plays from beyond the arc). I think he can average over 35 ppg at his peak.

Trae doesn't play like Curry now. Curry has a great off-ball game. Trae's ceiling is Steve Nash with a license to chuck, and even worse defense.

lol at Trae being better than Luka. Luka just orchestrated the most efficient offense in history, with no other all-stars on his team. His Mavs just had a higher points-per-possession than literally any team in history. I know in the current era offenses are generally more efficient, but it's still extremely impressive.

Meanwhile the Hawks are one of the worst teams in the league.

Also, Luka can actually defend someone. Trae can't really match up with anyone.

Trae Young can be an MVP candidate if hes on a defense-heavy team.

He's not even close to being as good a shooter as Curry, but he's way quicker off the dribble and can get to the line more and he's a better passer.

How far will he go in his career? The next Steph Curry in my opinion will be a multi all star and make playoffs in his 4th, 5th year. He will also be top 5 in scoring 5 years from now Too but will be a 2nd round exit guy. What u think ISH?

Top 5 scorer and passer but a poor defender. Multiple all star and maybe a scoring title or 2 but thats a big maybe. I dont see him winning any MVP's or titles.

He's on pace to be better than Steph Curry. That's his ceiling.

What he's done in his 2nd season is unbelievable.

Trae has somehow become the most underrated player I've ever seen. Despite it being perfectly normal that impact metrics don't show up for small guards usually the first couple years, especially ones bad on D, people love to downplay. What he's doing in year 2 has never been done really. 30/9/4 basically... as a weak, undersized guard. I don't care how bad his D is so far, he's INSANE. Most of his efficiency metrics have gone WAY up despite even more shots and usage. He has taken his TS% for example, from 54 to 59+ despite the increased shot volume.

This is the correct answer. Curry wasn't this good until year 4 or 5 and he was bigger, stronger and a year older.

He also wasnt in a ball dominant system though and just shot less shots. Steph was more efficient at that age and has always been a much better shooter. Trae is a better passer though. With his passing he could maybe be better than steph one day but he needs the ball in his hands alot which isnt ideal for winning so i dont see him being as good of a winner as steph.

Steph can put up similar numbers without monopolizing the ball which is more ideal for winning
