2017 NBA Manifesto
Joe Young
PG/SG, 6’2, 180lbs, 25 years old, 2 years of experience
Young, too, barely went to the Mad Ants, and nor was he used on the big club even as Rodney Stuckey struggled. He managed only 135 minutes as a sophomore, barely a third of what he managed as a rookie, and probably didn’t help himself by shooting exactly 21.7% from three for the second year in a row when billed as a shooter. Older than many prospects, Young is a quick and explosive if somewhat reckless and overly aggressive volume scorer who needs to be taken off the ball and given minutes to have any value. And garbage minutes don’t count.
Player Plan: Two years at the minimum salary remaining, unguaranteed, with a team option in the final year. Would be more suited to a two-way contract, but this team does not use its affiliate, so this isn’t likely.
