Young 'ecstatic' about NBA move from Hawks to Wizards

"I'm walking into this next chapter ecstatic, with my head high and my eyes forward," Young wrote. "It's time to see what's possible when the support is real and the vision is clear. We move." Young averaged 25.3 points, 9.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals a game in his prior seven seasons with the Hawks but has missed most of this season with a right knee sprain and right quadriceps contusion. The Hawks missed the playoffs four times since Young was taken fifth overall in the 2018 NBA Draft and fell in the first round two other seasons.
