Young stays at No. 6 for Eastern Conference guards in All-Star voting

The second round of fan returns are in, and Trae Young remains at No. 6 among Eastern Conference guards in NBA All-Star voting.

Young (737,126) trails Bradley Beal (2,528,719), Kyrie Irving (2,104,130), James Harden (1,829,504), Jaylen Brown (1,062,888) and Zach Lavine (936,309). Young ranks No. 14 in the league in scoring (26.6 points per game) and No. 2 in assists (9.5 per game).

No other Hawks player was among the top 10 at any position.
