After a very busy deadline that saw the Atlanta Hawks acquire three centers, the NBA wasted no time in the news cycle. Just a few hours following the deadline clock struck zero, the NBA All-Star Draft took place, with captains LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo picking their teams among the player pool, which included Trae Young.
Young, who’s set to be a starter in the game ten days from now, was drafted last out of the starters’ pool, joining team Giannis at 8th overall.
For the rest of the starters, LeBron had the first pick, predictably taking his teammate Anthony Davis there.
