Q&A: Trae Young on the postseason, acting alongside his brother in new BODYARMOR ad, and more

Can Trae Young work some more of that postseason magic like he delivered last season, despite the fact the Hawks will have to get through the Hornets in the play-in tournament for a spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs?

We’ll find out soon enough. Before the game against the Hornets, however, Young was able to catch up with For The Win. He discussed what he learned from the success his team had in the postseason last year, and how that can help them again this year.

Young also discussed his All-NBA candidacy (which has $35 million implications), his relationship with Atlanta’s recent draft picks Onyeka Okongwu and Sharife Cooper, his commercial with BODYARMOR, and more.

This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
