Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has given an honest answer to a question about being compared to Dallas Mavericks star and fellow 2018 NBA Draft pick Luka Doncic
Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young has said he is not thinking about comparisons between himself and Luka Doncic.
Young was drafted by the Hawks in the 2018 NBA Draft with the No. 5 overall pick. Doncic was picked by the Dallas Mavericks with the No. 3 overall selection in the same draft class. Young and Doncic have gone on to become the star of their respective franchises, but are yet to win a title.
After being drafted in the same year, and being selected close together, fans and various media outlets have often compared both Young and Doncic. However, it seems that Young isn’t thinking about his numbers in comparison to the Mavs guard.
Young was appearing alongside Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green on his podcast. The Hawks guard says that he has nothing but respect for Doncic, and is not concerned about the comparisons between them.
