As the Atlanta Hawks’ 2023 NBA playoffs run came to an end with a game 6 loss to the Boston Celtics, all eyes were on star player Trae Young (THV11.com). Without using any direct quotes, it’s clear that Young has been shouldering much of the praise and pressure that comes with NBA stardom (New York Times). He’s also been making headlines for his confidence in head coach Quin Snyder (RotoBaller), and for declaring that there’s nowhere to go but up after the Hawks’ season-ending loss (ClutchPoints).
While Young has been a key player for the Hawks, he is not without his flaws (CBS Sports). Even so, he showed his game-winner potential with a clutch shot that completed a 13-point fourth quarter comeback in game 5 against the Celtics (Fox News). Despite the loss in game 6, there is a sense of progress for the Hawks because of Young’s belief in Snyder and the team’s ability to make adjustments on the fly (The Athletic).
As the Hawks look ahead to the offseason, many are wondering what moves they will make and whether Young will remain with the team (Sporting News). Fans will have to wait and see what changes lie in store for the Hawks, but one thing is certain: Trae Young will continue to be a dominant force on the court (Atlanta Hawks).
