A year ago, Hawks guard Trae Young made perfect sense as a third-team All-NBA selection. Young had taken another step forward in his fourth season in the league, averaging 28.4 points and 9.7 assists per game and helping Atlanta get back to the playoffs.
This year, however, voters weren’t so generous to Young. Despite averaging 26.2 points and 10.2 assists this season, Young was left off all three All-NBA teams.
Adding insult to injury, Young received just a solitary, third-team vote, tying Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton for 11th among guards.
