Field goals were hard to come by for Trae Young early in his summer league debut.
The fifth overall pick of the 2018 NBA draft was revered for his outside marksmanship while at Oklahoma, but against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, the Atlanta Hawks rookie was ice cold.
Young finished the first half missing all nine of his attempts, including 0-of-6 from 3-point range. His first two misses from behind the arc didn't even hit the rim.
He ended the night with 16 points, four rebounds, and three dimes on 4-of-20 shooting in a 103-88 loss. Young wound up hitting from distance, but it took him 11 tries to make it happen.
Suffice it to say, it's not exactly the most inspiring of performances.
