#4 Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks
Trae Young exploded into our lives with his Curry-like three-pointers for the Oklahoma Sooners. He has the ability to pull up from everywhere north of the half-court line and distribute the ball to his teammates. He averaged 26.4 points and 8.7 assists per game in his freshman year in college.
Young had his name written in college basketball's record book. He led the NCAA in both points and assists, the only one to do that so far, he recorded the first 20-point and 20-assist game in 20 years and tied the NCAA record for most assists in a single game with 22.

Despite having a rough start to his NBA Summer League run, averaging 11.8 points and shooting just 17.1% from beyond the arc, Trae started showing why the hype for him was so big. In his last two games, Young started connecting on his shots, improving to 45% three-point shooting and 23.5 points per game.
Trae's slim figure and small height will make it more of a challenge for him, but his star potential is as high as it can get.
