Hawks Excited For Trae Youngs Adaptation Process Playing More Off Ball - RealGM Wiretap
The Atlanta Hawks are trying to do things differently around Trae Young after reshaping their roster to match the preferred style of play of Quin Snyder. Snyder wants Young to get rid of the ball early and often to have more unpredictability with their offense. The Hawks don't have a second primary bal handler on the level of Dejounte Murray, but they do have a number of players who can make reads in open space.
“Something the Hawks haven’t utilized before is Trae’s gravity,” new teammate Larry Nance Jr. said. “Him being on the court means 1.5 guys need to know where he is at all times defensively. On the ball, that’s fantastic. But what I think we’re starting to explore some more is using his gravity for others to make plays. We’re excited to start using decoy Trae Young a little bit.”
“When I am off the ball, guys are worried about me and they’re connected to me and on my body,” Young said. “So it allows teammates to have a lot of space to go and create for themselves and others too.”
