Despite Young's strong season, the Hawks missed the NBA playoffs for the second straight year.
That said, there is a lot of excitement around the franchise for the 2025-26 season.
Via Evan Sidery of Forbes: "The Hawks’ current projected rotation next season:
Starters: Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, Kristaps Porzingis
Second Unit: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kennard, Asa Newell, Onyeka Okongwu
Atlanta is a team poised to take a significant jump."
Young is going into his eighth NBA season.
