I wasn't thrilled to read Young has poor lateral quickness and a low defensive IQ. I probably would have preferred Harris but not by much. Young's still 18 with better measureables and a lot more upside, so hopefully he can learn. I'm happy with the pick and excited to watch him.

Harris didn't improve in year 2. Actually some of his stats were worse

He is definitely undersized as a 2.  Unlike say a Beal who has excellent wingspan/reach and size to make up the lack of ideal height at 2.

Young on the other hand has elite height, reach for a SG and good size for a SF.  Once he gets stronger (right now 215) , he is going to be a handful to try to guard.
