Trae Young ‘super excited’ to be vet to Wizards’ young players

The Washington Wizards pulled off a deal to land Trae Young after trading CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert to the Atlanta Hawks. Upon arriving in Washington, Young proclaimed his excitement to be on a new team and expressed his desire to be a veteran leader.

During his introductory press conference with the franchise, the 27-year-old point guard claimed he looks forward to making an impact with the Wizards and his teammates. He seems excited to go from being a talented young player on a roster to now being a veteran presence for a young roster.

“Just being able to have an impact on my teammates,” said Young… “I feel like I did a good job of that as a young player in Atlanta, so being able to be a vet with these young guys here.”
