Brad has been giving him minutes but the kid hasn't been cashing in the opportunities.

Ya gotta show your stuff Jimmy  before you wake up in another city or a foreign country!!!

He's still a cub.  He'll be fine.  This is just some on-the-job training right now.

The buckets aren't there yet, but I've actually seen things lately that have me encouraged.

This is the NBA , not college.....the defense is tall, faster and coming at him  at warp speed , it's an adjustment to your timing and game.



We know he can shoot .he can attack the rim .......one of these days ...it will all come together .

It's a mental, confidence deal mostly ......if Avery can overcome his shooting demons ......I fully expect Young will too.

One game , eventually  his pretty shot is going to go down .....I hope I'm watching when his day arrives.

I'm patient

Man at least Marcus is playing D at a consistent high level. Every time James is in there, the opposition always targets him. And for good reason, he's easily our worst perimeter defender. If he's not making shots, then his overall value is nonexistent.

He's like 19. He needs to get stronger and work on defense and rebounding

What's up with him? He got some minutes, so it became immediately obvious what the stage of his basketball development is (hint: probably high enough to warrant minutes on a regular NBA team).

It seems as though some are a bit defensive of Young. Like every Cs fan, I am also hoping that he can develop into a very good player, but the signs aren't clearly there yet. It seems like he is being given a free pass because Smart was the real prize, but if Young was our only pick, there would be a lot more concern out there (see Kelly Olynyk).

it is to be expected. each and every celtic gets the same treatment.

as for young, he is doing very well. he is 19, he is not lebron, he will be a good nba sf. he defensive troubles stem a lot from being small and slim. offensive players simply plow into him and move him out of the way. in  a few more years he will add muscle and weight. he defense will be fine then.

patience folks, patience. it is not young's fault that posters here have unrealistic expectations.

His rebounding is actually better than advertised IMO.  He'll stick his nose in there.

Agree on your other two points.  On the bright side, the effort seems to be there, so we have reason to expect improvement.  I think he's already better on offense than he's shown.  Again, he's done things on that side of the court that have me encouraged, even if shots haven't started going down yet.

Maybe. And now the million dollar question: if he ends up being a just decent NBA player (which is most likely), is it worth it to spend multiple years developing a John Salmons?

Young needs to shoot about 200 threes a day, every day.
