Trae Young heads to All-Star Weekend aiming to win 3-point shooting contest

If he has his way, Trae Young could become the first Atlanta Hawks player to win the 3-point shooting contest which he will take part in during the NBA All-Star Weekend. The guard has been part of the competition twice but went down to Karl-Anthony Towns and Buddy Hield during each of his encounters.

Previously Hawks sharpshooters Kyle Korver (lost to Steph Curry in 2015) and Mike Bibby (lost to Daequan Cook in 2009) were the only Hawks stars to take part in the marquee contest.

In addition, the mercurial PG is one of the players set to suit up on Sunday, after he was named as the injury replacement alongside Scottie Barnes for the injured combo of Joel Embiid and Julius Randle. Young was initially snubbed for the All-Star starters and the reserves cut despite averaging 26.7 points and 10.9 assists. The selection now will be the third of his career.

According to Yahoo! Sports, his shooting percentage (43.5%), turnover rate (4.5 per game) and struggles on defense were the factors behind missing the initial selection. On the season front, both Trae Young and teammate Dejounte Murray were looked at as trade targets, but with their potential buyers standing pat at the trade deadline, the duo will finish their season with the Hawks.
