Contract Value Index (CVI)
Trae Young's contract with the Washington Wizards grades out as a slightly below-market contract, earning a D+ CVI grade. At $47.7M per year over 2 years, this is a max contract at the maximum allowed salary. Trae's deal falls in the max tier for NBA Point Guards. At 27 years old, Trae is in or near prime years, which supports the investment. The max contract structure means Trae's salary is artificially capped — the CVI accounts for the compression between market value and allowed salary. The team will need Trae to significantly improve to justify this financial commitment.
Performance Analysis
Trae Young earns a C+ Performance grade, reflecting average production for a Point Guard. Across 498 career games, Trae has averaged 25.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game. Trae's strongest metric is FG% at 4330.6, compared to the NBA Point Guard median of 46.0. The biggest area for improvement is RPG at 3.4, below the Point Guard median of 5.0. Among 93 NBA Point Guards graded this season, Trae ranks 29th in overall performance. Trae will need to elevate key areas of the game to justify a larger role with the Washington Wizards.
Current Sentiment
Trae Young's Wizards tenure is overshadowed by injury concerns and disappointing early returns. On-court performance grades as C+, fueling skepticism about fit and execution. Nearly $48M annual salary questioned given production and availability this season. Injury-plagued debut narrative dominates; tanking reports suggest organizational frustration already. Fan confidence is pessimistic—injury history, contract burden, and losing culture breed concern.
