Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young has definitely established himself as one of best young stars in the NBA today, and it looks like he got a big fan in NBA legend Allen Iverson.
In a recent talk with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, Iverson appeared to share his admiration for Young and his game. In fact, according to AI, he doesn't see any flaws in the game of Young despite the Hawks star entering just his fourth year in the league.
“I don't see no flaws in his game at all,” Iverson said of Young's game, per Talkin' NBA.
Trae Young has been productive ever since he stepped foot on the NBA despite pre-draft projections of his offensive game suffering as he transitioned to the pros. After all, his size and lack of physical tools were seen as hindrances that could slow down his offensive arsenal.
However, Young has since proven his doubters wrong and showed everyone he can compete with the tools he had. He led the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, putting the league on notice and sending a message to the rest of the NBA that he can win at the highest level.
Of course Allen Iverson might be exaggerating when he said there are no flaws to Young's game. Besides, Ice Trae can certainly work on his defense more, which has been his major weakness entering into the NBA. While much of that is because of his height and size, he is more than making up for it with his offense.
Young has another season to take a big step in his progress, and it's quite clear he is on the right track since Iverson himself has taken notice of the young sharpshooter.
