I like his game overall. Compare him to a guy who was playing for the other team in Dante Exum and potential wise it's about the same. Exum is just playing better. Both same size and age. One guy went top of the draft. The other went in the middle. I think young is a decent prospect. Based on potential there isn't a huge difference. Young is just further back as far as his game.
Not sure that this is even close to reality.
Their only similarity is size. Other than that, very little.
They both came into the league very young and very raw with the physical tools to be really good players. 1 year later, 1 player has made huge leaps and the other does not seem to have made said leaps.
comparison seems decently valid to me.
Right. I chose Exum because I think Young was taken based on upside. He was a gamble. Different than Rozier in that regard. I think Rozier is more like Harris or Hood in that way. Limited upside but their games are probably further along. DA might have realized the error of his ways drafting young. He took Gerald Green though who was the same thing. Different kinds of selections. I think young's upside is more comparable to the top players but he's more of a gamble.
I think if anything Ainge usually leans towards upside when picking. Even Rozier has more upside in that selection.
Kind of have to read between the lines with my posts sometimes. But he took Young and Rozier when he could have taken Harris or Hood and a player with less upside this draft as well.
It's not that surprising that those guys are further along if you look at the selections.
