One of the most common criticisms of Trae Young is that he is too ball-dominant. Young has not been the most efficient scorer over his career, leading many to suggest he should embrace an egalitarian offensive approach to improve in this area.

This view can be overly simplistic, ignoring that Young hasn’t had much offensive support in his career. This year, however, Young has the playoff-caliber talent he’s been waiting for.
