Young’s abysmal stat line was posted on Twitter via Legion Hoops, which highlighted his rough start to the season.

During the 2018 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks made a blockbuster trade, with Trae Young and Luka Doncic swapping places in a deal that will forever be linked to the two talented scorers.
In retrospect, the Mavericks and Hawks were both able to get superstar players out of the trade, as they have gone on to flourish in Dallas and Atlanta.
