Trae Young Moves Up Board And Got Advice From Allen Iverson

Trae Young is one of the most interesting prospects in this year’s NBA draft. He might be the best shooter in what could easily turn out to be the best draft class in recent history.

Young majorly impressed during his pre-draft workouts with the Hawks (who will pick 3rd) and the Bulls (7th pick), which caused him to move up the board.

Already dubbed Stephen Curry 2.0, 19-year old Young played an incredible freshman season for Oklahoma. In 32 games, he averaged 27.4 points, 8.7 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals.

Trae Young buzz is louder after slaying workouts with Hawks (#3) + Bulls (#7). Young canceled a workout with Sixers, who have tried to trade up from #10. Maybe for Young? Sixers met him at the combine. Magic like Young at #6.

While the question is when and not if he’ll be drafted, Young is inches away from his biggest dream – becoming an NBA player. Some active players and former stars of the league are impressed by the soon-to-be-rookie, one of them being Allen Iverson. The former Sixers star already gave some advice to Trae, before the upcoming draft:

Trae Young is on his way to the NBA Draft … but before he got on the plane, he talked to TMZ Sports about everything from fashion to advice he’s received from some of his NBA idols.

One guy who’s reached out is Allen Iverson, Young says … “I’m a fan of his!”
