Trae Young has been a good player this season but he has become a superstar these past few weeks, with this week not being any different. He has been on fire this week and the Hawks ended up winning 2 of their 3 games this week.

He topped it all off with a huge game against the Philadelphia 76ers, where he had 32 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and a block, including a game winning layup for a 129-127 win.

The Hawks do not have much to play for this season but with Young performing like this, they need to play him more and more. His turnovers have been super high of late and that is something he has to improve.
