NBA Draft 2018: Trae Young can shoot, but he may not quite fit the Mavericks’ needs

Trae Young took the Big 12 and the NCAA by storm during his rookie season at the University of Oklahoma. He led the Big 12 and the nation in points per game (27.4), assists per game (8.7), assist percentage (48.6), usage percentage (37.1), points produced (935), points produced per game (29.2), and offensive box plus/minus (11.2). Needless to say, Young makes his impact felt while he’s on the floor by scoring and facilitating. His point guard credentials couldn’t be better. The question is: How will he fare once he gets to the NBA?

Born in Lubbock, Texas in 1998, Young was raised in Norman, Oklahoma.
