Young is coming off another stellar year for the Hawks.

The All-Star point guard finished his season with averages of 25.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 43.0% from the field and 37.3% from the three-point range in 54 games.

However, the Hawks missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season (four years ago).
