Rookies 2018-19 Regular Season: Points per Game Leaders

#2 Trae Young(Atlanta Hawks) - 16.5 ppg

Trae Young leads his fellow rookies in the assists category.

Although his well-renowned three-point shooting has failed to create an impression, Trae Young's heap of assists is the 7th most in the league this season, as he has been dishing out dimes at a rate of 7.4 per game.

Shooting an unlikely 30% from downtown, Trae has taken up the role of a facilitator at times, not letting his shooting woes affect his team's productivity. Used to being a solo show-runner, his transition into the league where he has had to accommodate others, has been pretty interesting to follow up till this point.

The notion of him being the next Stephen Curry has worn down, all thanks to his sub-par shooting numbers. However, he still manages to get buckets at a high rate for his Hawks, and is averaging 16.5 points across the 51 games he has started for Atlanta.
