Trae Young Struggles in Loss to 76ers
6 years agoAtlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young struggled to find his shot in the loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The rookie scored 11 points on 5-for-13 shooting from the field including 1-for-6 from deep. Young added eight assists and a pair of rebounds to his stat line. The 5th overall pick has had an interesting go of things in his first taste of NBA action. He's averaging 18.3 points but is making just 39.1% of his field goal attempts and 30.2% of his three-point attempts. He's proving to be a sound facilitator as he has averaged 7.0 assists per game through his first six games in the league. While his field goal percentages hasn't been ideal, he is capable of providing value in points, assists and three-pointers. His next matchup is against the Cavaliers who allow the sixth most points to opposing point guards.
