Stan Van Gundy says the Hawks are a better team without Trae Young
The Hawks are 10-5 without an All-Star, which is why Stan Van Gundy says they are better without the Hawks their starting quarterback, Trae Young. Amazon Prime Video NBA announcer expressed his harsh attitude on Young and the Hawks, according to the Zach Love Show.
“I think they’re better without Tree Young. And I say that as a guy, I’ve said that every year I watch him. And I’m not a Tree hater,” Van Gundy said. “Actually, if you give me money and I have money to go buy a ticket, and I can go to three games, Trey’s one of the guys I’m going to go watch. I think the guy, to watch him play, forget about the long shot. The passes he makes, the creativity.
“I think he’s a great watch. I love turning the Hawks around, watching Trae Young tear up defenses. I love him, but I think this team is better without him,” Van Gundy concluded.
The youth will be reassessed in two weeks.
