Five-star PG Trae Young dishes on what fuels his grind

Posted Sep 7, 2016
Trae Young: The greatest motivating factor that’s gotten me to where I am today is: “Wanting to be the first Young to make it to the highest level of basketball – the NBA. My dad was the first one in our whole family to play at the D-I level. He played overseas for a while too and making it to the NBA was his goal too. That’s what I want for myself, that’s what I think about when I’m working out." (USA Today)
