There has been wide-speculation for the last couple seasons that the Hawks would possibly trade star point guard Trae Young.

This past season, Young led the Hawks with 25.7 points and 10.8 assists per game. Young’s leading 25.7 PPG was followed up by shooting guard Dejounte Murray’s 22.5 PPG and shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic’s 16.9 PPG. Whereas, center Clint Capela led the team with 10.6 rebounds per game. Coupling Capela with Sarr’s athleticism and size could prove to be a potent front court duo that could transform the Hawks’ core for years to come.
