Atlanta Hawks: 4 players who can’t disappear during the playoffs

The Atlanta Hawks are just a single win away from qualifying for the second round of the NBA playoffs. They have done this on the back of the incredible play of Trae Young. The rest of the team is backing him up with the support required.

Young is averaging 10.0 assists per game which is bringing everybody into the game. He is also showing that he is able to penetrate the defense of the Knicks, averaging 27.5 points per game. He is shooting with great efficiency, going at 47.0 percent from the floor, 36.7 percent from deep, and 95.5 percent from the line.

Young has always been a competitive soul but it appears that the Knicks and their home crowd have lit a fire inside of him. He is certainly not going to go missing from this series anytime soon. In fact, expect to see next-level Trae Young in the fifth game.

The Atlanta Hawks are loving the work of their backcourt

The other member of the Hawks backcourt Bogdan Bogdanovic has only had one inefficient game for the entire series from beyond the 3-point line. That was in the game two loss, where he was 2-of-13. He still went on to score 18 points for the night.

Bogdanovic has been huge for the Hawks, averaging 15.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.5 blocks in 35.8 points per game. He is shooting the ball at 42.4 percent from the floor, 37.1 percent from deep, and is yet to take a free throw. His defense had been immense this series as well. He will also not likely to disappear.
