Trae Young – even at just 6-foot-1 with a 6-foot-3 wingspan and less than supreme athleticism – blocks an occasional shot.
But he really enjoyed this stuff of Kyle Anderson.
Despite Trevor Ariza just warning him about showboating, Young paid tribute to Hawks legend Dikembe Mutombo with a finger wag after the block.
Yes, Anderson’s release was notably slow. Yes, Atlanta was on its way to a 127-88 loss to the Grizzlies.
But I appreciate Young bringing some fun to the game.
Arguably the NBA’s worst defender wagging his finger – who doesn’t love that?
