He is averaging 27.5 PPG, 2.2 RPG, and 9.9 APG on 55.3% true shooting this season. Yet the Hawks haven’t been able to string together a good streak of winning games yet. The addition of Dejounte Murray was to take some of the load off Trae Young.

Although, it has yet to substantiate into something solid. But the season is far from over and the Hawks have plenty of time to turn things around.
