Trae Young was selected fifth overall by the Dallas Mavericks, in the 2018 NBA Draft. However, he was quickly traded for Luka Doncic who was selected third by the Atlanta Hawks.
Prior to the season, critics, fans and reporters questioned if the Atlanta Hawks did the right thing by trading the rights to Doncic. Young proved the haters and basketball critics wrong with his effort, heart, determination and play.
At the beginning of the season, Young struggled to adjust to the physicality and speed of the game but he continued to stay the course.
