Making the Case: Atlanta Hawks
The guard position has taken over in the NBA. This has become the most important position on the floor and it is imperative that teams have strong guards in order to win. The Atlanta Hawks are halfway there and could solidify the backcourt with a player like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
In his short career, Trae Young has proven that he has what it takes to compete in the postseason. We saw last year that young has the attitude and ability biggest stage. Now, the front office needs to continue to put the right pieces around him in order to win.
Gilgeous-Alexander thrives at creating with the basketball in his hands, but can also play off the ball. Trae Young could use a dynamic backcourt partner to make it easier to spend more time having to initiate most of the half-court offense.
Teams would no longer be able to load up on Young without being made to pay by his backcourt partner — making the Hawks a much more formidable playoff team.
