Trae Young has been on fire since the All-Star break, and on Wednesday he accomplished something no rookie has done since Allen Iverson.
Young, after scoring a career-high 36 points on Monday against Houston, scored 36 more on Wednesday against Minnesota. As Michael C. Wright of ESPN noted, Young is the first rookie since Iverson in 1997 to notch back-to-back 35 point games.
