Where is Trae Young playing?

Standing at 6’1, 164 pounds, Young plays and starts at point guard. Due to his height, Trae has never even played shooting guard. While most point guards who are taller than 6’3 might have played shooting guard at least once in their career, Young has never checked in for the position. Trae’s height without shoes is half an inch over six feet. Whereas he is listed as 6’1 and three-quarters with shoes.

Despite not being as tall as other point guards, Trae is a scoring machine, better known for his long-distance shooting as well as floaters. Lately, Young’s floater game has significantly improved, as he uses it as his secondary move after having a threat from the three-point line.

With a condensed Game 6 less than 12 hours away, the Hawks will look to even out the series. The game will be a heated match between Ice Trae and Boston’s Jaylen Brown. Who do you think will score more points? Let us know in the comments.
