I don't think Nash was intending to be critical of Young's overall game at all.
If we want to point to what started his slide, I'd look more at that friction he had in the locker room with Collins and some others.
I'm not ready to throw dirt on Trae's grave either. He's going through a slump as most players do. He already had shown he can be dynamic at times. Is he Luka? No, nobody is. But he's one of a talented group of young pg's in this league.
