Talk:Trae Young

Spelling variants?

Should Trey Young or Tre Young be created as plausible typos? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:38, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

If you think they are helpful, go ahead. I don't thing they would break anything.--Gorpik (talk) 09:40, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Please change "He did not play basketball in his freshman year" to "Young enjoyed one of the best freshman seasons ever seen at Norman North and started every game."

"Last year Trae Young enjoyed one of the best freshman seasons seen at Norman North. The sharpshooting son of former Texas Tech player Rayford Young started every game of his first season as a Timberwolf and impressed a number of college coaches, including those at Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, along the way.

Now Young will get an opportunity to display his talents in the Nike Elite 100 camp this weekend, playing alongside several dozen of his peers from across the country in the annual game.

Young was a key part of North’s success in coach Bryan Merritt’s first year at the helm. The Timberwolves finished the season 19-8."

References

Partly done: Removed the line that said he didn't play in freshmen year, along with your two article from norman transcript, I found article from The Atlantic & Sports Illustrated that mention his freshman year, practices and starting. I just removed the mention of his freshmen year or lack of for now.

I'm not sure about his entire high school career. The confusion seems to come from several sources saying he had a three year high school career. The clutch article that says his averages from his sophomore year, but links [], which doesn't mention his freshmen year. Other sources do the same only giving stats from sophomore year and on, but SI says he started varsity his freshman year. Going to keep looking for freshman stats/games played.

Why’d you edit

Dude just completely redid my edit just to basically say the same thing. King just wanted the credit I guess Dlooneyslit (talk) 04:18, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Leader in Points and Assists

Young is no longer "the only player to ever lead the NCAA in both points and assists in a single season". Caitlin Clark also led this year with 31.6/8.9: https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/stats 174.69.228.190 (talk) 22:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Maybe a change from "the only player to ever lead the NCAA" to "the only male basketball player to ever lead the NCAA" feels warranted in this case? – 70.162.127.129 (talk) 05:48, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Please change "Led NCAA Division I" to something along the lines of "Led league during season" instead since Trae Young led the NBA in assists this past season alongside the points and assists in the sole season he was in the NCAA. I admit I'm not 100% sure what the proper thing to say would be for someone that led in statistics for multiple leagues (or in this case, the NCAA and NBA), but I do feel a change for the statistical leadership is absolutely necessary in this case. 70.162.127.129 (talk) 05:47, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Okay, first of all, I was going along with a "change X to Y" format in my initial post. I just wasn't 100% sure on what the proper change for multiple leagues that a player led in certain statistics should be going under, was all. I admit that part was more on me not understanding the specific name I should have asked for earlier, and I am sorry for that earlier mistake, but still. Second of all, do you see the Wikitable section that goes like this below?

*	Led NCAA Division I

The part that says "Led NCAA Division I" there should be changed to "Led league during season" instead since Trae Young now has multiple statistical leadership honors to his name in both the NCAA and the NBA as of the end of the 2024–25 NBA season. Hope this clarifies things for you this time around. – 70.162.127.129 (talk) 09:48, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying; now I see what you were referring to. It looks like it has already been changed to "Led the league", which appears to have resolved the issue. Day Creature (talk) 17:38, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Yes. It most certainly has. Thank you very much for that. That's all I needed there. – 70.162.127.129 (talk) 08:48, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

That NBA.com article makes it sound like it's happening. However, from the start of that article, it sounds like it still needs league approval;

"After trade winds began blowing heavy entering 2026, the Hawks and Wizards have reportedly rung in the new year with a major deal, per multiple reports.

Trae Young will be heading to Washington, while CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert are on the move to Atlanta.

Typically, teams cannot discuss pending trades until they are approved by the league.

“I know you all have questions for me that right now I’m not at liberty to talk about or answer,” Hawks coach Quin Snyder said, unprompted, at the start of his postgame news conference Wednesday night following Atlanta’s 117-100 win over visiting New Orleans."
