Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young openly discussed the ongoing comparisons between himself and Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic.<\/p>\n
In the draft, Atlanta initially selected Doncic as their third overall pick but traded him to Dallas in exchange for Young, who was chosen as the fifth overall pick. Hawks received a future protected first-round pick as part of the trade as well.<\/p>\n
Since then, both players have risen to stardom in the league, leading their respective teams. \u201cI don\u2019t even stress over it no more. Like, I just \u2026 I know the real ones get it. I feel like, once I win a championship, it\u2019ll even open up more eyes to what I\u2019ve really done. Especially to some of my peers that I\u2019m compared with.\u201d<\/p>\n
For five years in NBA, Young has averaged 25.5 points and 9.3 assists, while Doncic, a former Real Madrid player, holds averages of 27.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and eight assists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
