Brad Rowland: Trae Young: “People may think that I have to feel like I’m the best player on the team or the first option, I’m not that way. I’ve never been that way. I’m just a guy that’s trying to get everybody involved and win the game. I know when we win, everybody eats.”

Breaking down Coby White’s big night:
*27 points on 27 drives (10-of-11 FGs)
*31 points in halfcourt
*4 dribble jumper possessions (right at average)
Downhill fest.
Coby White also averaged 13.0 PNR handler points in his last 5 (Ref point: Trae Young leads league at 11.9). pic.twitter.com/sh6hE92P3o – 6:47 PM

I wrote this the other day @BleacherReport Three potential landing spots for Trae Young if the Hawks go in a different direction. I struggled to find more than, given his contract and position:

FINAL: Bulls 131, Hawks 116
Trae Young made a 3, drawing plenty of boos from Bulls fans.
The Hawks season comes to an end but they have the 10th best odds in the draft lottery. The furthest they can fall is 12th. – 12:05 AM

Tough spot for the Hawks this summer. They should blow it up, but they really can’t because the Spurs own their picks. But one thing is for certain: Trae Young and Dejounte Murray need to be split up. – 11:55 PM

Trae with the Grift-6 turnover. Seen him, Lowry, Butler all try that kind of stuff today and refs are NOT having it. Then they get a dunk because he’s whining about the call instead of running back. – 11:22 PM

Bad recognition by Vooch here to try and set the screen when the Bulls had that Trae-on-DeRozan matchup that they’ve been fighting so hard to get.
Can see DeRozan waving him off but Vooch coming up allowed the Hawks to bring a second defender to DeRozan and muck up the play. pic.twitter.com/jN9SNeHbPJ – 10:51 PM

Shot clock winding down, Trae Young opts for style over substance with a behind-the-back pass to Murray that pulls him off his spot and messes with the possession … solid decision making! Bulls up 73-67 at halftime. – 10:49 PM

Bulls dialing up a play after the free throw to attack Trae Young on defense and get him matched onto DeRozan.
Ram screen for Caruso, who comes to set a screen for DeRozan. Looked like Trae was trying to show and recover to avoid that switch, allowed Caruso to get open for 3. pic.twitter.com/jbjHtb2iB5 – 10:01 PM

8:57, 1Q — tough sequence from the Hawks. Bogi gets called for a goaltend on Dosunmu’s cutting basket then Trae Young gets whistled for an offensive foul before he turns over the ball out of bounds.
Bulls fans have been elated. – 9:54 PM
