Trae Young is the likely future face of the Atlanta Hawks. Let’s look at 4 bold predictions for Ice Trae in 2018-19.

The 2018-19 season will be here before you know it, Atlanta Hawks fans, and we want to welcome you to the build-up to it the only way we know how. With plenty of new faces to get acquainted with (as well as a smattering of holdovers from last year’s team), the Hawks will make for a fascinating case study in 2018-19.

One way to look ahead to the 2018-19 regular season is by exploring predictions for each player on the roster.

As the NBA season starts to creep closer and closer, Atlanta Hawks fans are awaiting the debut of franchise point guard Trae Young. Taken with the 5th pick by Dallas and then traded to Atlanta for Luka Doncic and a protected future first round pick, Young is one of the most important investments the Atlanta Hawks have made in a player in franchise history.

Young is the first and probably most important piece in what Atlanta Hawks General Manager Travis Schlenk hopes is the next Warriors and big things are expected of the former Oklahoma point guard. Here are some bold predictions for Young in his first NBA season.
