BJ Young

Young was a dark horse candidate of mine in last year's draft as a slight, but freakishly long 2-guard with some playmaking ability.

In limited time in the league he put up roughly 30/6/5 per 36 minutes... which is kind of ridiculous... but it seems like he doesn't necessarily have the best attitude.

What are the odds he's ever a useful NBA player?

was he even invited to summer league?
for a 2 he's not freakishly long, but for a 1 he is. his physical profile and game screams combo guard, but he isn't a point guard at all. his half court game stinks. doesn't shoot it well at all, has poor shot selection, isn't a good decision maker, doesn't play to contact well, has a weak off-hand and has a really thin frame so his quickness is nullified when slashing.
i was never high on him, but i've seen worse, less talented players get shots. maybe he can be a poor man's lou will.
