The Atlanta Hawks’ standout player, Trae Young, was selected with the fifth pick by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2018 NBA draft. He was later traded to the Atlanta Hawks along with a future first-round pick. However, before entering the NBA, he was often compared to a Golden State Warriors star player while playing for the Oklahoma Sooners. Recently, during an appearance on Podcast P with Paul George, the three-time NBA all-star explained an incident where he was being called the next Stephen Curry, who recently poked fun at Anthony Edwards.
“That (pressure) really all started in college. We played in the Phil Knight tournament, had a really good showing, and then we were on ESPN every day. I swear that’s all they were pushing – ‘The next Steph Curry.’ I never paid too much attention to it. I never was like, ‘Yeah, I’m about to be the next Steph.’” Young said.
