and what is yall opinion on Thaddeus Young. I knew when the sixers drafted Thaddeus Young they got themselves a beast. I know Thad left us early but I still got love for him and root for his success. I feel that this guy will be an perennial all star for years to come
the guy is just a beast
what do you guys think of him?

I think people are drinking the Thaderade pretty hard. My mancrush dates back at least 10 months now I would say and I think most are the same.

Perennial all star seems about right. He may slip into that "underrated" role for a team though defending, scoring 19 a game, but not getting all the credit he deserves.

Still very early in the kid's career to tell what kind of a player he will be. It takes a lot of projection for the future but he certainly appears to have the raw tools and the work ethic and dedication to become an All-Star player. A very talented, athletic, bright kid.

The only thing that will keep Thad from being a 20+ ppg scorer by next year is the balanced scoring on this team. He has a sweet touch from 3 land this year, uncanny instincts inside and a smooth, graceful athleticism on both offense and defense. He hasn't shown much of a mid-range game yet this year since we don't really run plays for him on a regular basis, but in glimpses there appears to be no reason he won't excel there as well. Thad also hits his FT's, which is no small accomplishment on this team. He will be this team's franchise player within the next two years and should be a perrenial all-star down the road.

Whenever I check out the oponent game threads, there usually is someone blown away at the potential 2Young1 shows.

What do we think of him? Lets just say we're glad he's on our side.
