Hawks fans will likely love seeing the two veterans on the roster react to Young's post.

Nance Jr. was acquired in the Dejounte Murray trade, and he is bringing a lot of experience to a young locker room.

He finished last year with averages of 5.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 57.3% from the field and 41.5% from the three-point range in 61 games for the New Orleans Pelicans.

Meanwhile, Bogdanovic has been teammates with Young on the Hawks for each of the previous four seasons.

The 32-year-old finished last season with averages of 16.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 42.8% from the field and 37.4% from the three-point range in 79 games.
