NBA Players: Top 5 duos aged 24 and under

#3 Trae Young and John Collins (Atlanta Hawks)

The blossoming pair have a refreshing understanding on the court

Career stats:

Trae Young: 19.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game

John Collins: 14.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game

During the early days of the 2018/19 season, it appeared as though the Hawks made a horrible decision to trade Luka Doncic for Trae on draft night. Fortunately for Atlanta though, Young found his form during the second-half of the season and improved in every aspect to finish second in the Rookie of the Year voting.

Young and Collins have already shown just how well they work together. Trae's vision and ball-handling abilities combine to make the two a potentially dominant duo as Collins' form drastically improved from his rookie year with Trae setting him up as the point. Benefiting greatly from defences focusing their efforts on his elite long-range shooting teammate, the 22-year-old earns plenty of points in the pick-and-roll to devastating effect.

With more first-round draft picks added to the Hawks roster this season, led by this duo it would not be surprising for them to emerge as one of the lower seeds in the Eastern Conference playoffs soon in future.
