Trae Young Leads Atlanta Hawks for 2024 Season

As the Atlanta Hawks gear up for the 2024-25 NBA season, Trae Young has expressed a strong desire to lead the team back to the playoffs after a disappointing previous season. Young, a three-time All-Star, averaged 25.7 points and 10.8 assists last season and emphasized his commitment to winning, stating, "My goal every year is to win." With new additions like rookie Zaccharie Risacher and veteran Larry Nance Jr., Young is focused on improving team cohesion and performance. He has also taken on a more vocal leadership role, mentoring younger players and aiming to set a positive example. The Hawks will open their season against the Brooklyn Nets on October 23, and Young believes the team's mix of talent can help them exceed expectations. His social media posts reflect his readiness and optimism for the upcoming season.
