Wizards' mock draft projection shows no long-term faith in Trae Young
Atlanta Hawks v Brooklyn Nets | Dustin Satloff/GettyImagesTrae Young has joined the likes of Russell Westbrook and Jordan Poole as high-volume guards who look to re-establish their place in the NBA hierarchy with the Washington Wizards. As was the case with Westbrook and Poole, Young was shipped away from an Atlanta Hawks team that believes in an addition-by-subtraction approach.
Young's future with the Wizards will likely mirror those two guards. Both players lasted just one season with Washington. The Nation's Capital is becoming a playground for guards to increase their output and sell tickets to a suffering fanbase. If the past is any indication, that playground isn't permanent.
