The Trae Young Show came to town Friday night. We’ve seen it before, but just like Red Panda, the act never gets old. Whiparound passes. Long-bomb shots. The expectation that we’re going to see something we’ve never seen before, even though we’ve seen Young a ton at Norman North High School and OU, and now from afar with the Atlanta Hawks.
To open the third quarter, Young got Thunder rookie Luguentz Dort to bite on a pump fake, then Young jumped into Dort and threw up a 28-foot shot just so he could draw a foul. The play produced three points — but no foul.
