I like Young as a small PF. Don't make him a power SF.
With Kevin Love in the lineup I think the Spurs can have Thad Young at SF.
Then the team will not get a player that is as effective.
I dont see why not.
He will defend and crash offensive board on the other while Love is hanging outside the lane. Both of those is what Young are good at. He doesnt affect floor spacing at all with Love on the lineup, and he covers the other wing.
Because he so much less effective offensively at SF then PF. The 76ers don't even bother playing him there anymore.
Just because he is a smaller PF doesn't mean he can play SF effectively.
I guess agree to disagree.
I believe the reason he plays PF in Philly is because, well, who else would? He has the physical tools to cover quick SF's. He's tough and can defend. The only knock is he's not a good shooter 20 feet and beyond, so he doesnt stretch the floor as much. But with Love, he doesnt have too.
