Dang Young still got a long ways to go.
He's really disappointing
His game has grown by leaps and bounds. I'm excited about his future.
similar feeling. tonight he played credible to good defense, mixed with moments of cluelessness. but the cluelessness was far less than last season.
young is learning to play basketball. he had some good passes as well. and hustled.
his shot tonight was as bad a thomas' shots. i see improvement by young. a good sign.
He shot something like 1-12 from the field, and ironically I actually see that as one of the indications he is improving as a player.
When he caught the ball and had the shot available, he was taking it without hesitation. Miss or make, he still took the next shot without hesitation. That apparent confidence is what was desperately lacking in Summer League and during last season, and it's the type of confidence he will need if he is to have any chance of becoming a player in this league.
Also his defence has definitely improved significantly. It's gone from 'non existent' to 'bad but at least he's trying'. Long as he keeps putting in that effort he has a chance of improving to a passable defensive player.
Before pre-season I was leaning towards cutting Young and keeping Jones, but after watching both play Jones is definitely the guy I would be cutting.
He was by far the least productive and impactful player on the team in preseason.
