Now that Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young has a year of NBA experience under his belt, the sharpshooter expects to have a little more freedom on the court next season. Young explained what he learned and experienced his rookie season and how it affected his confidence:
“Now I know what to expect,” Young said. “How to handle the long road trips and the back-to-backs. How to take care of my body. I’m going to be able to feel more free and have more confidence going into the season.”
Young had a rough start to his rookie season, as he struggled to shoot the ball from deep and was a non-factor defensively. However, the 20-year-old rebounded well and finished with a great run. He finished the season averaging 19.6 points a game along with 8.1 assists while shooting 32.4 percent from three.
Young is expected to only raise these numbers next season. Countless clips have come out of him balling all offseason with NBA talent, and he has spoken of lofty goals in all his interviews so far.
The Oklahoma product is already one of the most electrifying players in the league. Let's see if the additional freedom allows him to grow into an All-Star level player in just his second year in the NBA, and potentially take the Hawks to the playoffs.
