I think my ability coming into the NBA is going to make it that much easier for me with the space and the different type of players here. I think just by the spacing alone is going to make my game that much easier and that much better for my teammates.

My hair is different than a lot of people's. I like my hair. I like the fade. I like the little design I have. I'm cool with it. Obviously my hair is thin on top, so it looks like a bald spot, but I really could care less.

I know what I need to work on, and I know what I need to prove and to show, and that's all that matters.

To me, I'll always be the skinny, 5-foot-6 eighth-grader on the YMCA court, trying to get grown men to choose me for pickup games. It wasn't always easy. And that's what drives me.

Trae Young

I feel my overall skill set, my ability to make players around me better, and my ability to help my team win is unique.

My favorite player growing up was Steve Nash, so that's been a guy I look up to and a guy I've gotten to talk to a few times, too.

Trae Young

I want people to say that I'm something new, something different. Something they've never seen before.

Trae Young

That's what my mindset is, making the right play and doing the right thing each and every possession.

Trae Young

If you ask the guys I played with when I was little, they'll all tell you the same thing. All I did was catch and shoot. I didn't do anything else.

Trae Young

I bring immediate impact off the court as much as I do on the court.

Trae Young

I was never the big leaper, the dunker, the long and athletic kid who looked the part of a traditional basketball star. Truth be told, I wasn't even considered a top guard coming out of my recruiting class.

I'm just trying to be the best version of Trey Young.

When you're around somebody all the time, you butt heads every now and then. That's what happens in every family.

Trae Young

People keep asking me if I feel pressure. But I don't feel pressure. I realize there's a lot on my plate, a lot of expectations for me to come in and win and do certain things. But I'm just playing the way I always have.

Trae Young

My goal is to the best player in the NBA. That's what I'm focusing on each and every day.

Trae Young

It's a mystery coming out each and every game to try and figure out how a team is going to guard me and how I'm going to dictate how my team wins.

Trae Young

I would love playing with a guy like Porzingis who can score, stretch the floor, who can do a lot, a lot of different things. But I could see myself doing some pretty good things with other teams, too.

Trae Young

I remember me being that kid growing up. Me being the kid that grew up going to games and being a ball boy and wanting a high five from Blake Griffin or the other players.

Trae Young

I just hope I get picked by the right team and the team that really wants me and a team where I can help and take it to the next level.

Trae Young

I'm just trying to get better each and every game.

Trae Young

I'm actually enjoying attention. Who wouldn't?
