I think its time to gamble on Young over Jerebko

[mr. dee]

hell, let's make it simple. CBS should have a starting line up of:

- young
- rozier
- jackson
- mickey
- brown

let youth be served on the celtics.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I only said he and Jaylen should be ahead of Jerebko which is kinda fair at this point. Jerebko isn't any much better than Young and already peaked as a player.

youngs defense is still abysmal-he will get blown by
jerebko shot 39 % from three last year,moves laterally better than james-
-james had one good game

Correction, James had one good game in three years.

To be fair this is probably Young's 3rd good game in his career.

Charlotte his rookie year and Golden State last year.

Jonas started last year really really poorly. I think he will get it together like he did last year.

Maybe we need to stop thinking of JJ as a quick PF and start thinking of him as a slow SF. He doesn't rebound, he doesn't contest shots. His quickness allows him to stay with most bigs defensively, so there's that. But what can he do once they post him up, or when they bully past him for an easy putback? Or when they make a quick pass to a cutting guard and he can't contest the layup?

He switches off well, and yet he's too slow to guard smaller wings, and he doesn't hit enough shots.

Basically he is giving us nothing right now. It is too bad, because he has nice speed for a man of his height. But the lack of rebounding or rim protection is a critical flaw in a guy who contributes so little offensively.

So true
JJ lack of rebounding and rim protection is being highlighted as our other frontcourt players also dont rebound and defend very well
This is why we are losing so many games
