#1: Young Is a Leader at the PG Position
While both DeAndre Ayton and Luka Doncic did an exceptional job at the center and shooting guard position respectively, it can be argued that Trae Young had to carry the most responsibility on his shoulders.
Being the point guard on a team means you are there to lead the team. You are the decision maker on the court and dictate the pace at which your team plays. A lot of times, it is your initial decision of what to do with the ball that unravels the remainder of the possession. This is what Trae Young was tasked with every time the Hawks had the ball.
Young was able to balance his responsibilities of scoring and distributing the ball beautifully to get the most out of not only himself but his team as well. His 8.1 assists and 19.1 points per game are clear indicators that he is a great point guard and can handle to pressures of the position. He scores when he is needed to, and makes the right decision with extra passes when he is needed to.
