Trae Young is the starting point guard for the Atlanta Hawks, serving as the team's primary ball-handler and offensive engine. The Oklahoma product stands 6'1" and weighs 164 lbs, carrying a slight frame that has not limited his production since entering the NBA. His draft year is not listed in available records, but he was born on September 19, 1998, making him 26 years old.
Through 18 games this season, Young is averaging 16.7 points and 8.1 assists per game across 25.2 minutes, with a field goal percentage of 45.0% and a free throw rate of 83.0%. His three-point shooting sits at 29.7%, a dip from his established long-range reputation, while his rebound average of 2.2 and steal total of 0.8 per game reflect the limited defensive role typical for guards of his build. A plus-minus of -4.6 suggests the Hawks have struggled in his minutes this season. As the clear lead playmaker, Young consistently generates high assist volume, making his assists prop a common betting focus. His frequent foul-drawing and reliable free throw conversion also make points props and combined points-plus-assists lines relevant for bettors. The lower three-point percentage this season is worth noting for any prop line tied to made threes, as it represents a notable variance from his typical output.
