The Atlanta Hawks moved on to the Eastern Conference Finals, beating the Philadelphia 76ers in seven games. Trae Young‘s performance in his first postseason is one that is changing the narrative around the third-year point guard. He is averaging 29.1 points, 10.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 38.3 minutes per game

However, in the seventh game of the 76ers series, Young was defended really well. He still had 21 points, 10 assists, and three rebounds but was awful from the field, going 5-of-23 which is only 21.
