Why The Atlanta Hawks Do The Deal
Let’s elaborate on those functional issues. What’s the problem between Murray and Young?
Well, Young is best used as an on-ball playmaker. So is Murray. In a vacuum, that’s not an issue, but when Murray is such a poor shooter, it is.
By contrast, Kuzma is a better off-ball player. He may not be an elite shooter, but he’s reliable. Kuzma is also an impactful cutter who will complement Young in a variety of ways.
He may not be the better player compared to Murray. For the Hawks, this is about fit.
