The league announced its award winners on Monday night. Young, the Hawks starting point guard, was fourth in the league in assists in his first season. Doncic, the Mavericks wing, had higher averages in points and rebound.
The Suns’ DeAndre Ayton, the No. 1 overall pick last year, was the other finalist.
The link between Young and Doncic, who were traded for each other on draft night, continues. The Hawks took Donic with the No. 3 pick and the Mavericks took Young with the No. 5 pick. The Hawks also acquired a first-round pick in the deal, which was used on Cam Reddish at No.
