Nick Young... for real?

[bballshinobi20]

This is more of a fantasy question. I've noticed that Nick Young has gradually been getting increased minutes and is putting up really efficient offensive numbers as well. Just by looking at the box score he reminds me a little of Kings' Kevin Martin - good FG% and high volume of FTs.

Are the Wizards going to utilize him more? And can we expect the current production to continue?

Predicting how much minuted EJ will give to rookies is like playing Russian Roulette with an unloaded gun. You spin and spin and spin, even though you know the outcome is inevitable. The results, inescapable. That's what it is to watch Wizard basketball. A never ending quest in futility. Nevertheless, like most of my loyal colleagues here we shall continue to spin ever hoping, ever praying and longing for that instant flash of light to once and for all...put us out of our misery.


But enough of that...what was your question again?

There are several thread discussing this.

But while I'm IBTL

Did on JWiz said. Great talent but who has any idea on the mins.

PS. He isn't a rookie. I know that may be easy to think given his lack of PT last year but this is his second year.

Nick Young has played well so far and I think he'll be starting or at least be that 6th man off the bench in the form of Ginobli or Gordon that plays in crunch time. He's actually playing defense and the Wizards are struggling so I expect his minutes to rise.

this is pretty much a no-brainer. you're reaching a little too deep if you're considering nick young for your roster. he's already getting 30 mins/game, which is about as high as it's going to get - and he's only netting 15 and he gives you next to nothing in terms of rebounds and assists. I don't see his stats getting much higher than that, so unless you're in a ludicrously deep league, i wouldn't pick him up.

I think what he's averaging now will be what he averages going forward this year. I see his FG% dropping a bit more (maybe down to the 45-46% range) and his 3P% rising to something more respectable (35%?), but the core numbers should stay similar.

I think nick youngs a pretty solid player and can be a threat in a couple of seasons, but he also needs to get better at other aspects of the game i think, especially becoming more then just a scorer

Young's minutes will go down if Arenas can return back to 100%.
