While Luka Dončić is likely to win the 2018-2019 NBA Rookie of the Year Award, Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks made the race for the award far closer than most people previously anticipated. Young became just the third rookie in NBA history to average more than 18 points and 8 assists per game, joining guys like Oscar Robertson and Damon Stoudamire.

Perhaps even more importantly, Young’s prolific scoring ability and dynamic playing making ability in general have suddenly made the Hawks a team that could draw marquee free agents, who’d want to play alongside Young.
