76ers (15-51) at Celtics (29-36) Game #66 3/16/15

[SHAQATTACK]

Stevens really has Young buried at the end of the bench.  Wonder what he does besides his D, that irks CBS.

I think he wants him to pay attention .....real hard .........wants the kid hungry for time ......wants to show how the Detroit boys earned the right to their minutes.

I think he ll get it ......eventually

His body language and attitude may be an issue.

I was watching him in the pre-2nd half warmups and he was taking threes from the right corner, and I think he made one of about 8 and just seemed to be going through the motions, shoulders slumped, just heaving them up. Then some short, bald guy in a suit (don't know who he was) seemed to be instructing him on the court, and it didn't seem like he gave a crap.

I got that same perception.  19 or not you better get out there and act like you wanna be a part of a pro ball team.  Personally he looks like another Jeff green.  Disinterested at times, never reaching his full potential.  He was the same way at Kentucky.  He could be a Danny green type player but his head is not there yet.  Personally I don't think it ever will be.  I'd be willing to trade him.  There's a reason young, a rookie got two minutes and smart, a rookie gets the starting job.  One is pedestrian and the other is a go getter.  The time he was out there he just walked to his spot.  When he is given opportunities he's inconsistent.  Jeff green 2.0.... No thank u

I'm not ready to thow Young under the bus. Even if he is Jeff Green 2.0 (and I noticed that even before the draft), he still could be a valuable asset.

There was a report some time back that he had some attitude issues. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Stevens has picked up on that and not been playing him due to it. Don't know why he's not been in Maine getting reps in that case, though.

We'll see what happens.  He's 19.  It's probably the first time in his life he's experienced individual failure on the basketball court.   It's in the C's best interest to help him work through this.  I do believe that Ainge likes his talent.

Remember how lost AB looked in his rookie year?  Kids can grow up.

He's 19....

Smart also came out in the draft as the most NBA ready in terms of defense. Young was touted as a young player with potential. Give him time before you explicitly say hes a waste of space.

This.

He is always very uninterested. KJ McDaniels would be a better choice for us - great defender, strong work ethic, wants to improve his offensive game. More like Marcus.

KJ was a bit of a stat chaser. Really neglected team D responsibilities to chase blocks and steals. He's probably a net positive on defense, but he's a terrible offensive player right now.

If we were able to get a Jeff Green caliber player with the 17th pick in the draft, I think we should feel quite lucky. Green is about the 6th best player in his draft class and has had a fairly successful career - Young hasn't shown anything yet (although I am certainly pulling for the guy). I think SL has it right in regards to his 'first failure'. We will see what the guy is made of over the next couple of years - none of this should be unexpected.

It's a long way away from dunking on no-names in the NCAA, that' sfor sure.
