Excellent point! I know posters here were sick of the number of times I brought up leadership throughout the season, but I firmly believe that was one of our biggest problems. I can't remember a season when I couldn't point to a single player and say with any degree of confidence, "he's the team leader." That has not been the case this year.
Trae Young is a born leader. He's cocky and charismatic. Some people may not like that about him. I'm not one of them. Show me a player who lacks confidence, and I'll show you someone who will never be a leader. Trae also leads by example in the way he performs.
