Not really. His shot selection and propensity to think he's Kobe is what holds him back. He's a very good athlete, he just plays stupid too much to be anything more than a spark off the bench.

I agree with Dr Positivity. NY is a pretty good athlete, but he plays with a high center of gravity, which really limits his quickness off the bounce.

Lamb and NY are similar, but I think Lamb's handle is slightly better.

You can quote me on that. Nick Young isn't a bad player, and is a decent value around the 12th pick of a draft.


I dont get that.

Prior to draft, I was a little biased by his Fiba U-19 performance, but I thought he would be a 6'5, 7'0 wings version of Kevin Durant. I thought he should go top5 easily. Athletic, long, score at will, good jumpshooter, etc... I thought he was 3rd in potential just behind Davis and Drummond.

I was looking forward for him joining Thunder, because I really liked him, but he looked poor when played for us. Really really poor. Played garbage time and still couldn't even find the ball. I also think Reggie Jackson and him couldn't find a groove(I really like Reggie Jackson too). No wonder he fall that much. Can't make an imediate impact(at least for a contender) at all.
