Trae Young is likely the most notable absentee from this year’s NBA All-Star game. Despite finishing third in the Eastern backcourt voting, Young was not selected a conference reserve. This season, Young has an average of 27 points (11th) and 10.9 assists (second).
Perhaps it’s because the Hawks are 20-27 in one of the league’s weakest divisions, but the rejection has reverberated throughout the league. Fans are particularly upset by Young’s absence. “Also, definitely put me on team!” Trae Young should be an all-star.I’m not sure what happened there, but I believe his case is quite obvious in the East. It’s bizarre that we take 27 points and 11 assists for granted,” said The Athletic’s senior NBA writer, Sam Vecenie. Furthermore, many people pointed out that Young’s numbers are higher than last year, when he missed the All-Star Game. Most fans prefer Young to All-Star reserve Paolo Banchero (23/7/5).

Trae Young’s Cryptic Response To LeBron James’ Mock Draft Reaction

While Trae Young is not an All-Star this season, could LeBron James compensate as a teammate? Last summer, Young tweeted “Talk soon” in response to an NBA Central post speculating about a LeBron-Bronny combo on the Hawks. This sparked speculation that the Hawks might pursue a LeBron trade.
The belief among commentators is that LeBron will seek a trade next offseason to join Bronny on whatever team drafts him. The Lakers are unlikely to have the opportunity to acquire him. If they choose too high in the first round, the Pelicans will most likely exercise their option to take the selection themselves. However, if Bronny is selected too low in the first round, he is unlikely to remain on the board. To get Bronny, the Lakers would have to target a first-round playoff exit or a low lottery result. However, it remains to be seen whether Bronny, who is underperforming at USC, will be drafted.
