Top 50 NBA Player Rankings: Joel Embiid is Coming for Another Crown | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Dec. 20 RPR MVP Score: 12.752

Trae Young has been on quite the heater for the Atlanta Hawks even as the team continues to land firmly in the realm of mediocrity.

Over his last 10 games, Young has averaged 31.1 points and 11.4 assists while shooting 46.5/39.3/83.8. He's been a bit too free with the ball and hasn't played anything better than semi-passable defense, hence the inability to carry his troops to more than a 3-7 record over that stretch, but it's hard to imagine how lost the Atlanta offense would look without his services.

The Oklahoma product has put together four consecutive contests with at least 30 points and 10 assists, and that's a feat no one else has pulled off in 2023-24. In fact, only nine players ever have: Tiny Archibald (five times), Luka Dončić (twice), James Harden (four times), Michael Jordan, Damian Lillard (twice), Oscar Robertson (eight times), Jerry West, Russell Westbrook and Young.
