Trae Young's elite scoring days may be over, and Wizards must live with it
The thought when the Wizards in June gave four-time All-Star Trae Young a head-scratching $212 million extension was that, despite the big money, the Wizards would ensure they had a dependable floor general who could take over games with his scoring when need be, like he had done for seven years with the Atlanta Hawks. That hasn't been the case.
While his ability to get others involved through his playmaking is still there, through the first 10 games of the season, culminating in the latest performance in a blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where Young mustered just four points on 1-for-6 shooting, relying on him as a dynamic scorer at this point may be a pipe dream.
