Hawks’ Trae Young named to All-NBA third team

Hawks fourth-year guard Trae Young has been named to the All-NBA third team, the league announced Tuesday.

Young is the first Hawks player to be named to an All-NBA team since the 2010-11 season when Al Horford was picked for the third team.

Voted upon by members of the media, Young is joined on the third team by pretty good company -- Chris Paul, LeBron James, Pascal Siakam and Karl-Anthony Towns.
