When Trae Young takes the court in Charlotte Saturday night for the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, he will get the chance to show the world how well he can navigate the obstacle-style course designed to test each participant's dribbling, passing, and shooting skills.
At the same time, the world should already know what a terrific passer Young is. In just 58 games, Trae Young has demonstrated enough skill to certify his passing abilities.
Take, for instance, Young's passing performance on Tuesday in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers. He finished with 14 assists, a total that did not include his two most gasp-inducing passes of the night: a pick-and-roll feed to Omari Spellman that bounced through LeBron James' legs and a post entry to John Collins that also slipped under James.
