Quin Snyder and the Atlanta Hawks put the team’s upgraded roster to good use in their preseason match against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday by finally democratizing the offense.
Historically, Trae Young has dominated offensive possessions for several reasons. The team has never had elite offensive talent around him, forcing them to adopt a heliocentric brand of basketball. Young’s ability as an offensive engine created plenty of good looks for him and his teammates, but this playstyle was unsustainable.
Entering the season, Snyder and Young noted that the star point guard must improve his efficiency.
