The live interview on ‘The Herd’ begins with Colin Cowherd comparing Stephen Curry and Trae Young. But the NBA Draft ‘Guru’ Rashad goes on to say, ” When you look at a guy like Trae Young, the NBA is predicated to a dynamic point guard play.”

He continues to talk about Trae’s position as a point guard and says, “Every great team in the NBA right now has one thing in common and that’s a dynamic point guard and Trae Young epitomizes the point guard position.” 

Phillips then elaborates on Trae’s skills by referencing to his history as a basketball player. “ Here’s a guy with average 40 points a game in high school,” says Rashad. “ He comes to college, leads the nation in scoring and assists.”

Rashad also speaks about Young’s admirable qualities and what exactly do Steph and him have in common. ” So this is the guy that has great vision, he can get in the lane, he can score and what he does have similarities with Steph Curry is the word magnetism.

“He attracts people, people love to play with him. This is the kid that’s going to attract 3 ages to come play with him and excite the crowd with deep 3’s like that.”
