Trae Young and the Hawks must find a compromise to the contrasting styles of play the team has shown.
At the most basic level, the Atlanta Hawks are simply a different team when Trae Young plays.
Since Young went down with a right knee injury in Atlanta’s fifth game against the Brooklyn Nets, the Hawks have been in the national spotlight. With Young having an expiring contract and Atlanta jumping to an 8-2 record without Young (now 8-4), it was easy for the provocateurs of NBA media to stir trade rumors.
