Atlanta's Trae Young Selected to Participate in 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 1/31/20 CONTACT: Hawks Communications (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA’S TRAE YOUNG SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN 2020 NBA RISING STARS Eastern Conference All-Star starter makes second consecutive Rising Stars appearance; Leads Eastern Conference in assists, 40-point games and 30-point/10-assist games ATLANTA – Atlanta Hawks second-year guard Trae Young was selected as a participant for the U.S. Team in the 2020 NBA Rising Stars on Friday, Feb. 14 at 9 p.m. ET in Chicago, it was announced today. Young, who also participated in the 2019 Rising Stars, will start the NBA All-Star Game two days later after leading all Eastern Conference guards in fan votes. Young has appeared in 44 games this season, all starts, and has averaged 29.4 points (third in the NBA), 9.2 assists (second in the NBA), 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest. The No. 5 overall selection in the 2018 NBA Draft, Young leads his draft class in total points (1,295) and points per game, total assists (406) and assists per game, and total free-throws made (330) and free-throws made per game (7.5) in 2019-20. Young saw action in 13 games in January and posted 31.7 points, 11.5 assists and 5.3 rebounds per contest. Per the Elias Sports Bureau, he became the first player in 54 years (Oscar Robertson, February 1966) to meet those minimums in any month with at least 10 games played. In his last five games of the month, Young averaged 34.0 points and 15.2 assists per game, joining Nate Archibald (1972) as the only second-year players in NBA history to average at least 30 points and 15 assists over a five-game span. Per Elias, Young’s 29.4 points per game would be most for a second-year player since Bob McAdoo scored 30.6 points per game in the 1973-74 season and would make him just the third player in NBA history to average at least 29 points per game before turning 22 years old (LeBron James, 31.4 ppg, 2005-06; Kevin Durant, 30.1 ppg, 2009-10). The University of Oklahoma product has recorded 11 games this season with at least 30 points and 10 assists, the most in the Eastern Conference and the second- most in the NBA. His eight 40-point games are the most in the conference. On Jan. 8 vs. Houston, Young recorded the first 40-point triple-double in Hawks history, posting 42 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in 39 minutes. Per Elias, Young became the youngest player (21 years, 111 days) in NBA history to meet those minimums (previously Oscar Robertson at 21 years, 357 days). Young is joined on the U.S. Team by Charlotte Hornets forwards Miles Bridges and PJ Washington and guard Devonte’ Graham; Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr.; Miami Heat guards Tyler Herro and Kendrick Nunn; Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. and guard Ja Morant; and Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall. NBA assistant coaches selected the Rising Stars rosters, with each of the league’s 30 teams submitting one ballot per coaching staff. A ballot consisted of four frontcourt players, four guards and two additional players at either position group for each team. Voters also had to choose a minimum of three first-year NBA players and three second-year NBA players for each team. Coaches were not permitted to vote for any player on their team. Young will become the second Hawks player in as many seasons to play in back-to-back Rising Stars, joining John Collins. # TrueToAtlanta # .

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.
