Nik is going to be a player in the league for a decade because of all his skills. Young will not last that long unless he develops the basketball skills to last. Young has gotten by on size and athletic ability where Nik has worked on the craft. I won't mind Young at 9 but I think Nik is the better pick because we know he is a player and if they both max out the difference isn't even that much.
Lol. Y'all act like Young can't shoot as if he on some MKG sh*t. Young is a legit deep threat. He has similar numbers to Michael Redd coming out of college.
Redd was known as a defensive specialist coming out of college - not a marksman.
I can't remember a day in my life when Michael Redd was considered good at defense and especially not in college. I remember watching the Scoonie Penn years. His jumper was inconsistent coming out of college so you're right that he wasn't necessarily a marksman and that's why he fell to the 2nd round. That's how I remember it.
