6 Young Players on the Rise + Hawks keeping Trae Young? | Slam N Jam

Um, I think the fact that Dyson is gaining more confidence in, in going to the basket and in making plays for others is a huge step forward. Um, obviously the big thing that he needs to make a jump on is, uh, knocking shots from three down a little bit more consistently, but he's been, he's been doing what the Hawks have needed him to do.

And if he's going to be a guy that's going to work from the inside out, then, uh, the is maybe a good sign that that three-point shot might fall a little bit more consistently later.

Well, you think about it. They had Herb Jones. They had Trey Murphy. They had a few really defensive long wings that were hitting shots offensively and really kind of gave New Orleans the leeway or the green light for them to be on the floor a little bit more than Dyson. So the fact that he's able to kind of flourish in this offense with Quinn Snyder, that really kind of...

what's the word I'm looking for, prioritizes the pass, really prioritizes attacking the basket or kicking out to guys outside. I think that's kind of what has helped him kind of flourish a little bit more. And maybe that's what has given a team like Australia to say, hey, Quinn, maybe we should bring you aboard to coach our national team. Though nobody is going to comment on that.

Yeah, I think Zach's upside has just been... I don't know. I think his instincts and the fact that he has not shown any fear in continuing to try to get to the rim is a good sign. You think about him, he's only 19 years old. When he came in, he was... Pretty skinny, pretty small. And he's trying to attack these seven footers who are probably have like 50 to 60 pounds on him.

I mean, the fact that he doesn't have that fear is a really good sign, in my opinion. And the type of buckets that he's trying to get, I think also kind of lends itself to him. him being the guy that has a high basketball IQ that the Hawks kind of need. And so I'm very impressed with just that poise that he's shown as a 19-year-old.

And the thing is, really, you can see kind of that progress over the course of the season that, as you mentioned, the efficiency wasn't really there at the beginning of the year, but as of late, it's kind of started to pick up a little bit. You think about that 30-point game he had against... Cleveland, you think about a couple of performances that he had against New York.
