Recently he appeared on Paul George’s podcast, Podcast P. On the show, Young spoke about Curry and the comparison made to the Golden State Warriors star. Young stated that he has never paid attention to the comparisons and has worked on making his own identity. The Hawks star has been a great playmaker for his team and averaged 10.8 assists last season.
Young even stated that his favorite player growing up was Steve Nash. Nash is widely considered as one of the best playmakers the league has ever seen.
I never paid too much attention to it. I never was like, yeah, I'm about to be the next Steph, No, I always felt like I took a little bit from everybody's game. My favorite player was Steve Nash growing up and he's led the league in assists, multiple years. Unfortunately he's also led the league in turnovers, which I've done a couple years too. But I take pieces from a lot of players and so that's why I feel like me and Steph, we have some similarities, but I mean I also get 10 assists a game.Trae Young via Podcast P
Young certainly carries qualities of both Curry and Nash. Throughout the year the comparisons about Young and Curry have been decreasing.
