Brad Rowland: Trae Young had 26 potential assists last night, per Second Spectrum. For reference, he led the NBA in that category last season with 20.7 per game, and no one else averaged more than 16.5 per game. His 17 assists against Chicago also generated 37 points. Bluesky | Oct. 28, 2025

Before I go deeper, though, let’s pause for an anecdote to underscore my point. After Toronto pressured and harassed Atlanta full-court in the Raptors’ unexpectedly easy 138-118 rout of the Hawks on opening night, I expressed mild surprised to a Toronto player that the Raps were committed to playing 94 feet even against Trae Young. “Especially against Trae Young,” he corrected me. The point: All that ball pressure is actually even more valuable against the league’s most dangerous ballhandlers, because it allows defenses to wear them out during the course of a 48-minute game.
