The Hawks came into the season betting that their collection of largely untested point guards (and arguably none of them pure point guards) could back up three-time All-Star Trae Young.
When you have a great player like Trae Young, you’re going to maximize his minutes on the court, obviously. So, it’s not quite as necessary to invest as many resources towards backing him up as you would a more problematic position.
And yet, that bet just has not cashed out to this point.
I talked earlier about how Trae Young is having a historic point guard season despite not setting the world ablaze in terms of shooting efficiency.
