Good grief that offense looks disjointed 
People will eventually see the light. Trae Young is the real deal. All the talk about not translating is silly. Smart teams will hop on the bandwagon now. But lets take a step back. Why is Trae Young so dominant in college? The answer is because the ability to shoot the ball well, especially from deep completely handcuffs the defense.
The two plays you see in that youtube video (starting at 5:21), and the two plays you see at 6:18 mark tell you all you need to know. With Steph people get caught up with the crazy 3's. From a defensive coaches standpoint, that is problematic but you'll live with it. The real problem that Steph poses is the pick and roll. And just like Steph, Trae Young is going to be a nightmare to guard on the pick and roll. And we are talking about pick and rolls 30 ft from the hoop, well beyond the three point line. Young has shown time and time again that he has the ability to make that shot consistently. Because he can beat you from that far from the hoop, defenses are forced to adjust. No you can switch the pick and roll, but the problem with that is Young is way too quick and will blow by him (to go a little deeper into this, not only is Trae fast, but because his shooting is so lethal, defenders will be leaning forward anticipating the jumper. This will make driving to the hoop that much easier. Big defenders will have no chance). Or you can trap the ball handler. This is why the Warriors need Draymond. When teams trap Steph he just passes the ball to Draymond. So now you have a 4 on 3 (on a side note. This is why KD going to the Warriors is so problematic. Maybe you have a chance in a 4 on 3 with Harrison Barnes being there, but a 4 on 3 with KD situation with KD is win for the offense.
In basketball, some skills are more important than others. And one of the most important skills a dominant ball handler can have is to be able to make 3's off the dribble from deep range. It absolutely destroys defenses and gives the offense an immediate advantage. Now, if that was the only skill that Trae Young had he wouldn't be that problematic. But when you add in his quickness, his dribbling ability (he did a shamgod in the above video), his already developed floater, and his passing ability you start to see the ingredients for a very dominant offensive player. The best comparison for him is Tony Parker. But even then that is a weak comparison because he is vastly superior to 19 year old Tony, and he has range. The best NBA comp for Trae is a blend between Tony Parker and Steph, with a healthy dash of great passing ability.
The fact that he's only 19 tells you all you need to know. With no glaring offensive weaknesses to fix (ala Ben Simmons), he'll be coming into the NBA and be able to focus on more advance techniques. The dumb team might pass on him because of his lack of wingspan and athleticism, but if he goes to a good coach, the sky is the limit. He has a legit chance to be a top 5 pg EVER. If not higher.

How you move like Westbrook and got range like curry
Shot selection like Westbrook too
You can’t teach IQ breh
I’ve seen enough this dude is dookie status.. his game is too mechanical, nikka move like he in the special olympics..
Folk calling him Curry 2.0 is disrespectful... Even Durant said when he was in AAU Curry was pulling from half court and making them
Curry’s game in college looks way more polished and under control than this kid..
Lol. No it didn't. And steph curry had an awkward looking shot in college. He had to change it again like right b4 his SENIOR yr. Keyword being SENIOR.
Y'all are hating for no reason on a FRESHMAN.
It was, Curry was much better as a Junior than Young is right now. Young could be better if he stays but I doubt he will
Steph left as a Junior. There is a lot of reason why people have doubt with Young
The fukk are you talking about? Curry only did 3 years at Davidson and got conference player of the year his second and 3rd year.. all 3 yrs he avg over 20 pts a game
Tre’a game is disjointed as fukk and all over the place.. Curry was way more polished offensively

Post injury Lou Williams is my assessment. I think he will be asscheeks his first few years in the league. But if jammer Nelson is still playing He will be ok
My bad junior year.
That's still 2 more years than Trae Young. And he still had to change his shot before his final year if he wanted to succeed in the NBA.
I mean it's not even Christmas and y'all already have dismissed this kids career
Roadie pipeher
From the embers
grade A hating ass shyt...they wouldn't be having him handle the ball all that much if this was true..
