Trae Young was once considered the ideal playmaking partner for rising star Victor Wembanyama, with his former agent Rich Paul aiming to pair one of the top guards—Young, De'Aaron Fox, or Darius Garland—with the young big man.
At one point, Trae Young was seen as the perfect playmaking partner for San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, sources reveal, per Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

Back then, Young was represented by Rich Paul and part of Klutch Sports, which was keen on pairing one of its All-Star guards — Young, De'Aaron Fox, or Darius Garland — with the rising star Wemby.
Since then, Young has switched agencies and joined CAA, shifting the landscape of potential partnerships.
Young’s performance last season showed why he remains a key figure in the NBA. He averaged a strong 24.2 points and 11.6 assists per game, continuing to be the engine that drives the Atlanta Hawks.
With two years still left on his current contract, including a player option for the 2026-27 season, Young could hit free agency as soon as next summer.
Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama has been equally impressive in his sophomore season, putting up 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 3.8 blocks over 46 games.
