As a one-and-done diaper dandy at the University of Oklahoma, Trae
Young personified the new wave of offensive-minded point guards inspired
by Steph Curry that shoot with no-conscience and are always looking to
push the pace. As a freshman the Sooners' 6’ 2” floor general became the
first player in NCAA history to lead the nation in both points and
assists (total and per game). Now the Atlanta Hawks rookie
extraordinaire has his sights set on NBA’s Rookie of the Year and he’s
off to a torrid start, averaging almost 17 points and 8.3 assists per
game in his 2018-19 debut season. With unlimited range and a fitting
first name, the sky's the limit for this young cat.
Presented here is a Trae’s game worn USA Basketball jersey from the 2016 FIBA Americas U18 World Championship. Playing alongside Markelle Fultz and coached by Shaka Smart, Young helped lead the USA to its 10th FIBA U18 Men's gold medal. The navy blue Nike jersey with red trim at the collar has has “USA” and “4” sewn on the front in white, with
the USA Basketball and FIBA logos ironed on above. His number "4" (sewn) and “YOUNG” (ironed) are also in white on the reverse. The shirt shows light but appropriate use and is properly tagged on the left front tail in size 46 with
“+4 LENGTH” flag tag. This is the only USA or international jersey worn by Trae Young offered publicly and it comes straight from Young himself. The kid could very well be on his way to NBA stardom.
LOA from Young's father on behalf of Trae.
