Hawks value Trae Young more than rest of the NBA

At this point, the Hawks value three-time All-Star Trae Young more than other teams around the league. Although Young leads the NBA in assists this season, the 26-year-old’s field goal percentage has been the worst of his career, and his three-point percentage and scoring are only slightly above his rookie season production. Teams across the league also cite Young’s shortcomings as a defender due to his size and whether you can advance far in the playoffs with him as one of your highest-paid stars, given the new collective bargaining agreement.Source: HoopsHype What’s the buzz on Twitter?
