The Atlanta Hawks, led by star point guard Trae Young, are currently in the process of figuring out how to turn a slightly above-average team into one that can compete for the franchise’s first championship since it moved to Atlanta.

While the team got relatively close in 2021, coming within two games of the NBA Finals, the last two postseasons have ended in disappointment, with back-to-back first-round exits at the hands of the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics.

Young recently took to his “From The Point” podcast which launched earlier this summer to address his goals for the future with the franchise that traded for him on draft night back in 2018.
