Bogdan Bogdanovic: Trae Young is like a Ferrari. And he’s just learning to drive the car…
The Hawks are leading 2-1 in the first-round playoff series against the Knicks
Trae Young was the MVP in the Atlanta Hawks’ victory in Game 3 against the New York Knicks.
The point guard out of Oklahoma scored 21 points and distributed 14 assists, with only 2 turnovers.
Coach Nate McMillan is satisfied.
When they are collapsing in the paint as New York’s defense does, the perimeter is open,” McMillan said. “He has to find those guys and get the ball to the shooters. If they stay on the perimeter, then he has the ability to attack the big in the paint.“It’s making reads and making sure that he takes care of the ball. He only had two turnovers tonight. That’s a really good game for a point guard — 21, 14 and two. He’s too good of a passer to have five, six turnovers a game”.
Bogdan Bogdanovic,15 points with 8 rebounds and 3 assists in game 3, second-best scorer of the Hawks in the series.
“Like Nate said, he’s like a Ferrari,” Bogdanovic said. “And he’s just learning to drive the car.”
