Trae Young 2019 Player Outlook
5 years agoAtlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young finished his rookie year with some good momentum that he'll look to carry on into 2019-20. The young sharpshooter averaged at least 23 points in each of the final three months of the season. He ended up averaging 19.1 points per game for the whole season, shooting 41.8 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from downtown. Young added 8.1 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 30.9 minutes per game. He was a very inconsistent shooter throughout the year, but Young is on his way to becoming one of the most feared snipers in the league. During his rookie campaign, Young improved his three-point shooting to 34.8 percent following the All-Star break. His assists numbers also received a big boost, going from 7.6 to 9.2 per game. Young dropped dimes for fun to close out 2018-19, registering seven double-doubles in his final 10 games. The Hawks have added plenty of offensive talent over the summer, so Young has the potential to be a nightly double-double threat. Most of the growing pains seem to be behind him, which makes Young an attractive fantasy asset at the point guard position.
