What do you think MikeLG? Seems like a pretty darn good player for a freshman, how do you see him as a NBA prospect? _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

I'm not Mike but...this guy might be one of the worst defenders for his given athleticism I've ever seen. |

It's odd in this draft. There's guys that are great defenders, or terrible defenders.
Honest opinion, he should stay in school. His game is two dimensional. 3 pointer. Drive. No right. Nothing in the middle. No real shake.
2nd honest opinion. He should go to the draft. Next year he could be better and be in the lottery, but he has an outside shot of being in the lottery now.
JR Smith type without the wacky personality, just the hair color. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I didn't realize his defense was so bad. He is still very young though and I like his size and shooting ability.
I think he could be a pretty good NBA player in time, but that is what is so hard projecting with guys that aren't even 20 years old yet. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

I blame Calipari.
The Harrison twins do a poor job setting up the offense.
Poor offensive spacing.
Young should always be at Randle's corner to bomb shots.
Randle shouldn't be at the high post just to get the basketball.
James Young has all the tools, but almost no focus on defense. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I second that!!!He also might have the lowest basketball IQ out of all of them.He made so many defensive mistakes throughout the tournament.I would pass on this guy. |
