He\u2019s averaged 24-plus points per game in every season after his rookie campaign and is currently averaging 24.1 while shooting 40.8<b>\u00a0<\/b>percent from the field and 33.4 percent from 3-point range in the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n<p>The former University of Oklahoma star has one of the highest career scoring averages in NBA history among players who have appeared in at least 400 games. He\u2019s averaging 25.3 points per game for his career, and that mark ranks in the top 15 in NBA history, ahead of legends like Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Steph Curry and others.<\/p>\n<p>But for as much of a knack as Young has for putting the ball through the bottom of the net, he might be an equally gifted facilitator. He\u2019s averaging a league-best 11.6 dimes per contest in his seventh season in the NBA and has averaged double digits in assists multiple times before.<\/p>\n<p>Young\u2019s passing chops were on full display in Atlanta\u2019s recent win over the Milwaukee Bucks on March 30. The 26-year-old, who isn\u2019t the most efficient player around, misfired on all but four of his 16 shot attempts from the floor but made up for his lackluster shooting game by dishing out 19 assists compared to only two turnovers.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not Young is a realistic trade target for the Heat is debatable, but the rationale for Miami trying to add him to its roster is there and abundantly clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Atlanta Hawks guard Jeff Teague said that while he likes the current iteration of the Miami Heat, he also thinks the team needs &#8220;one more piece&#8221; and mentioned star guard Trae Young as a hypothetical target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":49654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
