Six reasons why Nick Young's probably a goner
In continuing to work on my Randy Foye post (I'm sorry, lots of work this week, not much time), the major conclusion I'm starting to find is that Foye's presence seems to indicate the Wizards don't really have Nick Young in their long-term plans. Rather than dilute the post on Foye down with that...
Using Nick Young to criticize (again) the previous regimes' player development shortcomings
We've already posted a link to Michael Lee's report of Nick Young's workout with Sam Cassell and Flip Saunders, but even though I read it pretty thoroughly the first time, this line jumped out at me when I went back to read it again just now. In addition to taking defensive tips from Saunders,...
Who is Gilbert Arenas' ideal backcourt mate?
UPDATE: I put my entire collection of data in a Google document for all to see here. Please check it out if you have questions about those not listed. A couple weeks ago, we talked about trying to find a way to classify Gilbert Arenas on a "pure point guard" basis. I contrasted a point guard's...
Don't Wiz on the Cable Box (That's Tuuurrible...)
Two long days off to nurse Jamal Crawford-induced wounds, and now we're back at the Cable Box to host the Washington Wizards. Last year, the Wiz were a fantastically fun team to watch. Even without Agent Zero, they could pour it in with Roger Mason, Jr., at the point, Caron Butler doing Caron...
The Nick Young vs. Rodney Stuckey Debate
Why is this guy smiling?via flickr/Keith Allison Rodney Stuckey dropped 40 points on the Chicago Bulls last night. Slam is calling him a stud. Kelly Dwyer says that the Chicago D was sound. We can safely (or perhaps precariously) speculate that Ernie Grunfeld would've taken Stuckey over Nick...
Earth to team: Nick Young is improving
So it seems like Ed Tapscott has seen the light and realized that Nick Young deserves to play more than he has been recently. To reiterate: it's not that Young is an infallable stud that is being buried, but rather it's simply that he's significantly outperformed the veteran players in front of...
Nick Young is......The Red Rooster
Nick Young....the lovable little scamp (picture Homer rubbing Bart's head and telling him to run along after he's done something bad) is all the rage. He's given himself the nickname, Bean Burrito, which was shot down by a vote in favor of "The City." He's nicknamed a teammate the White Hole and...
Lessons from tracking Nick Young's mind-boggling Summer League passivity
Previously...JaVale McGee is a very undisciplined defender, and Dominic McGuire does all the unnoticed things. It's unmistakably clear that this is a huge offseason for Nick Young. As discussed in our player evaluation, he showed a lot of flashes in his rookie season, but demonstrated that he has...
