LAS VEGAS -- Trae Young's first five games of summer play have raised an intriguing possibility: What if the No. 5 pick in this year's NBA draft is better as a passer than a shooter?
Yes, Young led the NCAA in both scoring and assists during his lone season at Oklahoma. However, it was his 30-foot 3s off the dribble that caught the nation's attention more so than Young's work distributing to an unheralded set of Sooners teammates. So it's been somewhat surprising that Young has found far more success as a playmaker than a scorer so far, first at the Utah Jazz Summer League and now at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
