It’s looking like a breakout year for Jalen Johnson. Part of the reason for his success could be his opportunity on the Atlanta Hawks which needs him to get plenty of touches. Another reason likely is because Trae Young is his point guard. It’s hard to tell how many good years he’ll have in the NBA, but while he is young and can use his athleticism, he looks very valuable to the Hawks who are contending for a championship. 1/17/2025
