The future of the Atlanta Hawks was put on full display in front of a national audience during NBA All-Star weekend. Second-year forward John Collins and rookie point-guard Trae Young put on a show in Friday night's Rising Stars challenge.
Young nearly put up a triple-double in Team USA's 161-144 win over Team World with 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds including six three-pointers.
