He plays better D than a large portion of this roster statistically. He is a sg that averages 3rpg in 24 minutes. The top leading sg in rebs averages 6 per game and plays 38 mpg on one of the top Ft shooting teams and high pace ones in Harden. It's a flawed argument per 36 he's close to 5 per game

He scores. Who on this team makes plays for others aside from Kobe? Lin himself struggles. Wes doesn't. IF your PG can barely make more assists than turnovers why are you forcing Nick to when he's the only other guy who can get a shot one on one?

Shooting 44% from 3 isn't easy ... he's not open, he's contested to all hell

First off, Nick Young has been doing this whole "Swaggy P" gimmick nonsense for about oh......three years now, almost four? Here's a photo of Nick Young out, looking respectable.

See, no problems there. At some point he decided to follow into this whole swagtard era and drop his "The City" nickname for "Swaggy P".

He averages 2.7 rebounds at his current MPG and would average 3.8 Per36, which is poor for his size. Here, go to http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2015_per_game.html and look at all the guards that average more rebounds than him. There are a lot that do it in less MPG than him and there are those that even still adjusted for Per36 still outrebound him. He's 244 out of 445. Just for a little fun, Wayne Ellington averages the same amount in less time.

I don't care if he scores on poor efficiency, anyone can do that. He's shooting 44% from three, yay. One good thing, hip hip hooray.

So first you accuse me of being racist (Against someone belonging to the same racial group as me no less), once you get destroyed on that you go on and post this. Really? You're going to attempt this, to even compare them to aforementioned? Is this something you REALLY want to do?

Are all nonconformists unprofessional, or just the ones who don't do their hair and buy the clothes that white corporate America says you are supposed to?

Bob Marley and Jimmy Hendrix were EXTREMELY unprofessional musicians. Just look at their hair and clothes!

Oh God, "White Corporate America". Tell me why I should take you seriously again?

Fun fact, Nick Young did what a whole bunch of other people are doing, CONFORMING to this current trend of ridiculous outfits for the sake of doing so. He's just taken his gimmick far beyond most others.
