Trae Young goes past Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum in elite record

Trae Young has impressed with his skills in his early NBA career. Young has played an instrumental role in the success of the Atlanta Hawks this season and has continued to impress with his game. The 22-year old was at his best in the Friday night game against Chicago Bulls as he came up with a mind-blowing performance.

In fact, Chicago Bulls’ player Zach LaVine hogged the limelight with his impressive show as he scored 50 points and grabbed the headlines. However, LaVine’s heroics went in vain as Young delivered a match-winning performance for Atlanta Hawks.

Young came up with a complete performance against Chicago Bulls as he scored 42 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists. This was the 16th game of his career in which he has scored more than 40 points and has had more than five assists in a game. The only player in NBA history with more such games before his 23rd birthday is LeBron James (17).

Thus, Young has gone past Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum in the elite record and he is now only behind the legendary LeBron James. Young is averaging 25.4 points per game in the ongoing season and he is going to hold the key for Atlanta Hawks.

Young will aim to continue the good show for Atlanta Hawks and he is going to hold the key for the franchise. The Hawks currently have a 28-25 record in this season and are placed at the fifth position in the Eastern Conference standings. Thus, they will aim to make it to the playoff stages.

The Atlanta Hawks will play their next match against Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.
