Trae Young isn’t Steph Curry, but Hawks rookie has to shoot better than this

Stephen Curry was in town Tuesday night, so you know what that means. By my count, Hawks rookie Trae Young fielded six questions about it before the game and another four after.

“It’s hard to repeat myself and keep saying it, but I don’t really get caught up in it,” Young said.

After Golden State buried the Hawks, it was Curry’s turn.

“Honestly, it gets old,” Curry said. “He’s his own player.”

The Curry-Young comparisons started as soon as the skinny Oklahoma freshman began making three-pointers from absurd distances. They accelerated when Hawks GM Travis Schlenk, formerly of Golden State, drafted Young.
