Future face of the Hawks franchise is already becoming glaringly obvious

Trae Young last played on Oct. 29 for the Atlanta Hawks, and he'll be out for a while longer after he sprained his MCL. ESPN reported that Young would be sidelined for at least four weeks. Including the game against the Nets in which he was injured (he played only 7 minutes), the Hawks are 8-3, thanks in large part to Jalen Johnson's breakout.

He's averaging 22.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.9 steals per game in the last 10 contests without Young (he didn't play against the Lakers), shooting 57.7% from the field, 43.2% from three, and 81.
