Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young is actively dedicating his time to improving his skills during the off-season.
Shortly after engaging in pickup games alongside fellow NBA players, including Kevin Durant, Young continued his training regimen.
Stephen Curry inspires young players with motivational speech
He recently shared images from a workout session on Thursday, featuring himself and Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry.
Trae Young didn’t make Team USA
This string of high-profile basketball activities follows closely on the heels of a surprising disappointment for Young.
Despite consistently expressing his eagerness to represent his country, he was unexpectedly left out of the Team USA roster for the upcoming World Cup tournament.
Trae Young’s off-season workouts
Instead, working alongside Curry offers Young a valuable opportunity to gain insights from one of the most exceptional basketball players in history.
Particularly, Young could greatly benefit from observing Curry‘s expert movement without the ball, a skill that sets Curry apart from his peers in the NBA.
While Young has displayed that he is willing to execute cuts towards the basket and navigate screens over the course of his career, many fans of the Hawks acknowledge that he still possesses substantial room for growth in this aspect.
This growth becomes especially relevant now that he has the added advantage of collaborating with another skilled ball-handler, Dejounte Murray.
Young stands to gain significant advantages from a full off-season working with the new head coach, Quin Snyder, as they collaborate to design an offensive system that effectively leverages his strengths.
