Trae Young has big dreams for the Wizards’ youth
Things went fast, very fast even, for Trae Young in a week. Four days ago we found out that it was on Jastrebov’s departure and, just two days later, he was sent to Wizards (vs. CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert).
His team change was barely digested, but he is already in the capital, where he was presented to journalists on the sidelines match between Washington and New Orleans (lost his own people).
And the leader especially appreciates finding Travis Schlenk and Will Dawkins, two leaders he knows well, having worked with them in Atlanta, the NBA and Oklahoma, where he played in high school and then in college.
« I just feel like I’m coming to a place where I can be myself » he stated. « I am surrounded by people who have obviously known me for a long time, who know what kind of winner I am and what kind of winner I want to be. »
And it’s a shame if coming to the Wizards, used to losing – a lot – for three years, takes time before you start winning: ” It is a day by day process. » then he admitted. ” I know what it entails, nothing will be easy, but I know it’s a place that motivates me and I was already excited when I knew there was a possibility (to land here). »
A new magician among wizards
For your coach, Brian KeefeTrae Young « will bring the team to the top and promote the development of players, especially the youth “, because ” elite creator “The good news is that the leader comes thinking first of all about the team.
« I just want to get the best out of these young players on the pitch » did he so delivernecessarily referring to Alex Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly. ” When I’m able to get back on the floor, I want to show that I can get the best out of this team and the young people around me. Hoping to make one or two of these guys an All-Star. That’s my goal. »
On the side of Will Dawkinsit’s impossible not to be enthusiastic as well, as the four-time All-Star that is Trae Young should allow Washington to collectively reach a milestone. In addition to restoring the attractiveness of the entire franchise.
« He plays an exciting type of basketball that we can’t wait to see here » explained the GM. ” He plays with such a level of confidence and competitiveness that we felt we had to bring to the team. That’s what sets him apart when you watch him play against other point guards/guards. We are lucky to have him among us. He has been a real force since arriving in the league. He’s evolved into one of the best creators and that’s what we’ll continue to strive for as long as he’s here. »
When will he debut with Washington?
A few hours earlier, Trae Young said goodbye to the Hawks, saying he would not have “ he never thought to write “. Assuming he had failed in his pursuit of his previous goal, in Atlanta, where ” loved it » play and grow. He has no doubt that this period will force him to ” the best player and the best possible person » for the next leg of your journey.
« The last few years have not been what I wanted them to be. » he wrote on his social networks. « It’s always been my goal to bring the title back to Atlanta. However, between injuries, falls and crazy situations, we were never able to reach our full potential. (…) Then the pain of staying in the same place eventually replaced the uncertainty associated with change. Change is often met with fear, but I see it more as a new opportunity. I enter this next chapter with enthusiasm, head held high and eyes turned forward. It’s time to see what can be done when the support is real and the vision clear. On to the rest. »
As for ” continuation » More specifically, Trae Young must first heal from knee and thigh pain before he can debut his No. 3 — previously worn by Bradley Beal in the Capitals — with his new team.
« We learn more about his injury every day, and we’ll know even more this weekend Will Dawkins assured. ” We hope to see him on the pitch soon, so he can make a decision on his ‘player option’ for next summer. And when that will happen… I don’t know, but we won’t rush anything. We want it to be 100% before we restart it. »
