Atlanta Hawks: Steve Nash Compares Trae Young to Himself

Trae Young has been a joy to watch during his (so far) short tenure with the Atlanta Hawks, but fans can expect for him to improve and continue to provide dazzling highlights on a night-to-night basis – hopefully for the rest of his career as a member of the Hawks.

Young’s truly elite talent is passing and piloting an offense to above-average levels, similar to a former brilliant passer from recent NBA history: Steve Nash.

We have previously compared Young to Nash, as well as a far more in-depth discussion of how the Hawks’ young core of Young, John Collins and Kevin Huerter can be compared to three pillars of the “seven seconds or less” Phoenix Suns teams of the early 2000s.
