The Atlanta Hawks, who selected Trae Young with the 5th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft (picking up an extra first round draft pick in the process), have seemed to go all in on Young’s marketability as a Stephen Curry-esque figure.
Young has played up his “everyman” mentality with his inspirational mantra of “Another Day, Another Opportunity” on Twitter every morning since being drafted seemingly. In general, Young seems like a genuine and supremely likable individual, and he seems truly excited to be playing for the Atlanta Hawks franchise – which is remarkably refreshing after the team was not the most enjoyable team to watch last year.
