The birth of his son is the latest welcome news for the 23-year-old Young over the past few months. The two-time All-Star point guard also recently received word that he was named to an All-NBA team for the first time in his career.
Young earned an All-NBA third-team nomination after arguably his best year with the Hawks. The 2018 No. 5 pick posted career-highs in all three shooting categories with a field-goal percentage of 46.0%, a three-point percentage of 38.2% and a free-throw percentage of 90.4%. He averaged 28.4 points per game as well as a career-high 9.7 assists per contest.
Although Young’s individual performance was sharper than ever, Atlanta took a step back as a team after making a run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021. The ninth-seeded Hawks scraped out a spot in the playoffs after winning the play-in tournament but fell in five games to the top-seeded Heat.
With the 2021–22 campaign now behind him, Young will turn his focus to year five in the NBA during which he’ll have a new fan in the stands, cheering him on.
