Trae Young
Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young’s omission from the 2024 All-Star Games raised a few eyebrows, considering he has had a fantastic season. Despite Hawks’ poor performance in the ongoing season, Young emerged as a star for his side. The 25-year-old is currently leading the tally for most assists in a game with 20 assists. Young has an average of 10.9 assists per game, with 27 points per game.
Other than that, Young saw a surge in his three-point percentage to 36.8%. Hawk could make it to the All-Star game as a replacement for Randle or Joel Embiid.
