Trae Young is staying in Washington on a 4-year, $212M deal. And the 4x All-Star hasn’t felt this disrespected since he was ranked 23rd overall and 4th among point guards (behind Trevon Duval 7, Collin Sexton 8, Jaylen Hands 20) in the Class of 2017.
“This is the most slept on I’ve been in my whole life,” Said Trae on a recent episode of THE PIVOT. “Even in high school, I wasn’t this slept on. I felt like I could have been top 5 in my class. I should have been top 10. No. 1 point guard but I was No. 4. Was I slept on a little bit? But this is starting to feel a certain way. I’ve learned there’s a lot of recency bias, especially in media. I know if we start winning, imagine the Wizards as the No. 1 team in the East next year. What people gonna be saying?”
What are you expecting from the Young next season, and who do you think the Wizards will take with the No. 1 draft pick: AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson?
