Is Trae Young ACTUALLY The Problem For The Atlanta Hawks?

Is Trae Young ACTUALLY The Problem For The Atlanta Hawks?

The Atlanta Hawks they’ve been struggling recently bro and Trey Young’s having a career season and this talks about the Hawks wasting his prime news tonight deante Murray traded away to Atlanta for three future first round picks it’s definitely the most young exciting back court in

The East am I wrong in thinking like the Hawks that’s the best back court in the NBA right a hawks at their Peak what does that look like the talent we have and just everything around if we could put it together top three team in the East I really believe that Austin

Celtics finally able to turn out the lights onl win a championship you know what I’m saying not just not just be in the picture just be in the running like I want to come into the season like people look at that they can they can win and they got a chance now

Dro games essentially anyone other than Trey young and and now Jaylen Johnson’s coming on as kind of a foundational piece for them everybody else that includes Murray should be available fair to say after a year and a half that trans action is not one that you would

Want to have that’s crazy I remember this trade when it first happened I thought that was going to be a good fit cuz deante is a more of a defensive guard than Trey a lot of people have been telling me that Trey young is the

Problem from what I can see is he the issue completely I don’t know but they telling me that his shot selection and his defense is the issue let’s keep watching this see what the problem actually is sort of do again if you were the Hawks ever since making the 2021 Eastern

Conference Finals Trey Young and the Atlanta Hawks have had disappointing season after disappointing season and after about a third of the way into the 2023 2024 NBA season it’s looking to be another one of those Seasons as they’re sitting at 14 and 19 currently but what it feels like nobody he’s talking about

Is how incredible of a season Trey young is having at 25 years old he’s averaging 28.2 points per game and 11.3 assists so who’s to blame for the Atlanta Hawks continual disappointment and where should they even go from here today in this video we will dive into how the

Atlanta Hawks are quietly wasting Prime Trey Young when the Hawks first traded for Trey young in the 2018 draft giving up Luca donic and gaining Trey young and a 29 first round pick although controversial at the time it’s Chad what you think you think that was the right

Choice of going with Trey instead of Luca seeming that Dallas hasn’t won the championship either now I feel like more people love Luca as a consensus let me know down below if you picking treyer Luca if you would to go back in that draft 28 11

Ain’t nothing to Breeze at though bro po to start building something in the Eastern Conference and after two losing records in Trey Young’s first two seasons they would break out during the 2020 2021 season going 41 and 31 and at the time it seemed like the Hawks had a

Super talented young core they had Trey young at 22 years old Kevin herder at 22 DeAndre Hunter 23 John Collins 23 cam reddish 21 not to mention Clint capella 26 years old they acquired in a trade and signing VD vdovic they would finish fifth in the Eastern confence That

Season defeat the Knicks in five games in the first round and then shock the NBA World in a game seven that broke Ben Simmons defeating the number one seed Philadelphia 76ers although they would fall to Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks in six the future was bright for Atlanta

See and the future being bright is always people always say that right oh we have young We’re Young we have time we have time that was y’ chance bro I don’t think y y don’t even knew it when y’all beat Philly and got bed up

Out of there to the Nets speaking of bed we made a video about Ben hey I’ll link it here check that out I think Ben Simmons career done but that was that was y’all year to win that Atlanta they had their superstar in Trey young they had draft

Capital they had their young and Veteran pieces around him but then 2022 they would take a little bit of a step back going 43 and 39 finishing nth making the play in and ending up getting the e seed in the 2022 playoffs where they would lose in five games to the Miami Heat

Trey young would have an absolutely abysmal series averaging 15 points per game on a shocking 32% from the field that off season they would make some adjustments trading Kevin hert see and that was the other thing that people were telling me is like in the regular season his shot

Selection and all that shit’s nice and cool when he’s making them but in the playoffs when a team has four games four to six seven games the game plan for him it would I heard that he forces shots and I seen a little bit in the last playoffs

Like some them threes man we can get better looks and in the playoffs when it really matters some people telling me Trey young can’t handle that like his play style is not meant for the playoffs like Curry is an anomaly and that Curry is an anomaly bro he’s an unbelievable shooter if you

Can’t shoot at that efficiency in the playoffs like Curry does it hurts your team better it helps your team because Tre not really a great defender herder to the Kings acquiring in a blockbuster deal de jonte Murray from the San Antonio Spurs coming off an Allstar season basically for three first but yet

They’d have a very similar result going 41 and 41 finishing eighth in the Eastern Conference somehow beating the heat in the 78 play in game but losing in the opening round in a six-game series versus the Boston Celtics and at this point we started to wonder what is

Atlanta’s plan from here they had made a decently risky move that offseason to acquire a rising star alongside Trey but yet they would get pretty much the same result matter of fact they were second in the league in offensive rating and 26th in defense in 2022 and then were

Seven in offensive rating and 22nd in defense and 20 see and that’s the thing bro defense wins champ that is an old old Mantra bro defense with championships he your team being almost dead last in defense that’s tough when y’all was second in offense it it was okay right

It was okay I didn’t win a championship now but it was okay when when your offense goes down your defense gets better by bring bringing Deonte in he still in the same spot as you were in 2023 and would actually drop four spots in net rating and that brings us

To the 2023 2024 season about 97% of you guys watching this video right now haven’t subscribed it’s so I greatly appreciate if you subscribed and like this video so I can know that you enjoy this content and I can keep bringing you stuff like this on a regular basis and

Where the Hawks are 14 and 20 they’ve been terrible at home this year had a pretty poor December but yet quietly with no one really paying attention Trey young is having arguably the best season of his career averaging 28.2 points per game and 11.3 assists which is good for

Second in the league behind Tyrese halberton but he’s also hitting 38% of his threes on a whopping 9.3 attempts per game matter of fact in December alone Trey averaged 30.4 points per game 12.2 assists per game on 48 42 84 splits becoming the only player to average 30

And 12 over a month in the three-point era yet the Hawks would go 4 and 10 in December and as much hype as Trey young was getting in 2021 and 2022 after a Down Season last year by his standards he’s completely back to 2021 Trey but yet nobody’s talking about it and

Obviously that’s because the Hawks just aren’t that good of a team so who is the blame for this let’s take a look at their roster first and foremost the demise of John Collins is something that is somewhat puzzling I know he had that weird finger injury in his last season

With Atlanta hold on what the heck is that oh my God John Collins happened to your finger Bro Team didn’t want him to get surgery he played through it but two to three years ago nobody saw this coming for John Collins it’s really a sad story as he’s now a below average

NBA player in Utah then if we take a look at bogy he maybe 31 but he’s surely not showing any signs of slowing down averaging 17.7 points per game shooting 38% from three as well on almost nine attempts per game he’s also having one of the best seasons of his career and is

One of the favorites for six man of the year then we have Jaylen Johnson the 20th overall pick in 2021 having an absolutely breakout season if you have not watched Jaylen Johnson this year I encourage you to go check out some highlights he’s absolutely balling check

Out this poster he had on last night in a game where Atlanta beat the Oklahoma City ther and he had 28 points seven rebounds four Steals and shot 61% from the field this man went from averaging 5.6 points per game last year in only 15 minutes of play and shooting 29% from

Three it’s now playing 30 minutes a game 15.3 points 8.1 rebounds 41% from three shooting 59.6% from the field with an insane true shooting percentage of 60 7.7% Jaylen Johnson and bogey are not the problem even Clint capella has been fine to above average this year he’s pretty much been the same player

Statistically for the past three seasons however he is $20 million and almost 30 the Hawks should consider moving him at the deadline depending on what offers are actually out there when it does come to issues on this team let’s start with maybe not the biggest one but certainly

An issue DeAndre Hunter he was drafted fourth overall Atlanta made a pretty big move for him now luckily they had taken Jackson Hayes at eight so it still was a good trade looking back on it even now however what happened to DeAndre Hunter’s supposed 3 and D utility this

Man has been absolutely abysmal on defense this year he has the worst defensive rating of anyone on his team that plays over 11 minutes per game and he hasn’t even been remotely a good Defender since 2021 now damn so the Hawks drafted his man to be three and

D and he can’t play no D isn’t he a starter for them okay what’s he’s shooting the crap out of the ball this year so we have to give him that a career high 40.4% from three on a career high in attempts he has been sidelined for the past couple weeks with

A knee injury but I feel like if you’re Landry Fields the Hawks GM you have to move him at the line he’s not serving your team in the long run and the type of team that you need to build around Jaylen Johnson and Trey young and see

For a Trey young heavy team we need defense cuz Trey young not guarding nobody right so we don’t need more three ball and we need more defense along with a three ball I feel like they would be willing to sacrifice someone that three-point shooting for some damn defense so do you move

Hunter but where do you move him and what do you get for him and when it comes to AJ Griffin I don’t even know what’s going on with AJ if you’re not familiar he had a pretty good rookie season last year as the 16th pick in the

2022 NBA draft and then this season he’s just not in the rotation barely playing and he did have a stretch I know a couple weeks ago where he was out for personal reasons but he’s been back for three or four games and he’s recording dnps at this point my assumption is that

Quinn Snider has just deemed his defense completely unplayable but I’m hoping post trade deadline if the Hawks do in fact sell a couple pieces that AJ will get 18 to 20 minutes a night the rest of the season so that Atlanta can at least see what they have in him let him

Develop and see if he can come out of this sophomore slump at the end of the day the two biggest pieces of blame I’m putting on the Hawks starts with number one Deonte Murray it’s time to trade him I’m not exactly sure what the Hawks

Could get for deante but if you can get 50 cents on the dollar hey New York we need the jante nothing too crazy not too much on this man but if he get some some cheap give him like a draft pick or something I’ll take for what you paid for him I

Think you have to do it his contracts going up next season 7 or8 million plus it’s just quite clear to me that dejon Murray does not fit this team as long as you have Trey young and shooting this is going to be a good offensive team you

Don’t need more offense in my opinion you need defense and dejonte Murray has been pretty average defensively for the past two seasons with the Hawks and even if you go into some Advanced metrics including EPM and defensive EPM heck even defensive rating with the Spurs he wasn’t that great he just filled the

Stat sheet by Leading the league in steals That season as I was finishing up this video a report came out yesterday that the Atlanta Hawks are open to trading anybody on their roster not named Trey young and Jaylen Johnson which I believe is 100% the correct move

Just a few days ago when I first recorded this video there was talks about them acquiring Pascal cakam being buyers at the trade deadline forcing this roster construction to try to compete more which I thought was a huge mistake so for Trey Young’s sake for Atlanta Hawks fan sake for Jaylen

Johnson’s sake for Quinn Snyder’s sake and for their young pieces like AJ Griffin and Kobe buffkin sake I’m glad to hear they are willing to trade at the deadline I’ll believe it when I see it you could easily keep someone like bogey who’s having a career season and is on a

Team-friendly contract while still trimming the fat and retooling for the future plus let’s be honest I still think this roster can contend for the playing tournament without some of these pieces while setting themselves up better for the next 2 to three years and giving their young guys some time to

Develop if you’re a Hawks fan what do you think do you want them to stand Pat at the trade deadline would you do you actually want them to go out and buy another piece or do you want them to retool and reenter around Trey young and Jaylen Johnson I’m confident to say that

If the Hawks do what they say they’re going to do in this report that came out yesterday that I will completely reverse my course on their idea of wasting Trey Young’s Prime I think the Hawks definitely need to trade get the jante out of there give back some pieces some defensive guys

Maybe actual 3 and D guy cuz both he nice Off the Bench but not a defensive stopper right e some 3D guys yeah J I’m sorry my friend I think you up out of there bro but speaking of people who are up out of there Ben Simmons career is done

It’s over it’s finished and I made a video about that right here on screen for you right now the
