The Atlanta Hawks knew they were getting a good one when they traded back in the 2018 NBA draft. In a draft-night trade, they sent Luka Doncic to the Dallas Mavericks and received Trae Young in return. Travis Schlenk saw something in Young that he could build around with a more complete team mentality than Doncic.
Since then, every time that Young has hit the court, he has shown a desire to be the best player that he can be. He has worked tirelessly on becoming the best version of himself and it showed during his first playoff campaign.
