Trae Young was among the most exciting young players in the country during his year with the Oklahoma Sooners, although many questioned whether he could make the step up to the NBA. Nevertheless, the young point guard excelled during his Rookie season with the Atlanta Hawks and was unanimously selected for the 2018-19 NBA All-Rookie First Team.

Young made 81 appearances during his debut season with the Hawks, averaging 19.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 8.1 assists.
