Trae Young is unlikely to make it all the way to No. 17, but a boy can dream, can’t he?

Young got off to a historic start during his freshman campaign at Oklahoma and drew many comparisons to NBA sharpshooter Stephen Curry. He displayed great range and a quick trigger on his shot, making him a threat to score from anywhere on the floor. Unfortunately, he slowed down mightily as the season went on and appeared to lose some of the steam he built in the early parts of the season.

If the Bucks were to somehow land him, he’d be a great floor spacer for the team. His range would go great alongside Antetokounmpo and Middleton and give the Bucks another scoring threat they need.
