Trae Young showed off his 3-point accuracy Tuesday in the Atlanta Hawks 101-93 win over the Chicago Bulls.

Young, who has struggled shooting most of summer league, showed marked improvement Tuesday, shooting seven 3-pointers and totaling 24 points.

The former Oklahoma guard entered Tuesday shooting 16-of-66 from the field and 6-of-35 beyond the arc in summer league.

Young, a rookie out of Oklahoma, was initially drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the fifth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, but was traded to the Hawks moments after for the third overall pick Luka Doncic and a future first-round pick.

One of Young’s most impressive shots was with his heels on the logo at midcourt near the end of the fourth quarter.
