Young knows Hawks’ commitment after Schroder trade

Trae Young got the message.

Loud and clear.

Consider what the Hawks did in 28 days this summer at the point guard position:

June 21: Acquired Young, the No. 5 overall pick, in the NBA draft.

July 13: Agreed to a trade with the Nets for veteran Jeremy Lin.

July 19: Agreed to a three-team trade to send two-year starter Dennis Schroder to the Thunder.

“Obviously when they move the point guard they’ve had for a while, their starting point guard, it definitely opened my eyes,” Young told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution from New York where he was taking part in the Rookie Transition Program.
