Trae Young Q&A: On high expectations, confidence despite Hawks’ challenges and beating the odds again

Trae Young is having the best season of his career. The Hawks are in the Play-In Tournament with a month to go in regular season. Young and the Hawks made it to the Eastern Conference finals last season, but they have struggled this season so far. He wants to be an All-Star. He feels the team could be the first to make history. It's been a long time since the franchise relocated from St. Louis to Atlanta.

Clint Capela's expectations were high for his team. The team had a lot of injuries and had to deal with COVID. Now that they have players back, they feel better. Trae Young has high expectations for the team and they are surprised by their performance. He believes they will beat the odds again. They are in the playoffs.

Trae Young doesn't have high expectations for the Hawks this season. Last year, they won the conference finals. He doesn’t think about expectations.

Bogdan Bogdanovic said after the Boston game that the team wasn't good. He thinks the record doesn't look good, but he thinks they can turn it around.

The team has a lot of similar players and has been in this position before. Last year, they put themselves in a hole early on and fought out of it after the All-Star break. This year they are in the same position.

Trae Young believes the Hawks can do something similar to what they did last season. The team has beaten some good teams recently.

Trae Young's main priority is to win and make some noise for the Hawks. If he makes All-NBA this season, he will be eligible for a supermax extension. He considers himself one of the best guards in the league.

Trae Young is confident about his team's chances in the Play-In Tournament. Last year, the Hawks beat the odds and almost beat champions Philadelphia. He believes they can beat anyone in a seven-game series.
