The Atlanta Hawks had a tremendous season in 2020-21 and that was thanks in large part to the play of Trae Young. In a season that the rest of the NBA did not appreciate the brilliance of Young until they saw him perform on the biggest stage this season.
Young’s playoff performance was historic but he had been on this tear since the start of the season. He averaged 25.3 points, 9.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 33.
