Trae Young has had an excellent rookie season and has begun to embrace the questions on whether the Atlanta Hawks made a mistake in trading down with the Dallas Mavericks and passing on Luka Doncic.

“I know it’s a part of my life now,” Young said.

“I tell everybody that hopefully we’re both 15-plus years down the line and we’re still playing and it’s a competition that’s been going since draft night,” Young said. “I think it’s going to go on forever, so might as well just accept it and take it on as a challenge.”

Young averaged 23.3 points, 9.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game in February while shooting 43.7 percent from the 3-point line.
