Atlanta Hawks: Trae Young ranked second-best player under 25
The Atlanta Hawks had literally spent years trying to solve the point guard position. Mike Bibby, Jeff Teague, Acie Law, and Dennis Schroder are just some of the recent names to try and fall shy. But they made a trade in 2018 — that might go down among the most balanced in sports history — to finally solve the problem.
Trading Luka Doncic for Trae Young on draft night got the Hawks front office panned. Not because they didn’t think Young was talented. But because many assumed that Doncic was that much better.
Fast forward three years and that entire line of thinking may need to be re-examined.
