All the haters that say he can only score must have changed their minds a lil bit with him outplaying wade and playing great defense on wade also and make wade work on defense. He could be a star if given the mins just needs more clock

Can’t say I didn’t call it…me and Mikenike have been saying it!

a couple of us have i just wonder where all the nick young haters are now

[JNixonParticipant]

The thing about the game tonight was that he made some extra passes for easier shots. He usually shoots everytime he gets the ball no matter what. That was encouraging to see, and he did (as you mentioned) play solid D on the ball esp against Wade.

nick young great player better future good job on d wade watch the game

[Russell0WestbrookParticipant]

yeah it looked like he wore wade by making him work hard on both ends

I’m not a hater but I’m not near as high on Young as you all.  He has had a couple good games recently.  However, his PER for the year is still terrible.  Matter fact it is 6.5. The league average is 15.  He still has to improve a lot to be a star, matter fact he has to do that to even become a reliable starter.  He also took 23 shots tonight.  I didn’t watch the game but I’ll take your word for it.  I’m glad to see him step up to the challenge & make Wade work hard.

[JNixonParticipant]

Gotta watch the games…that PER stuff means nothing especially when you consider the amount of shots he’s taken or lack thereof. He’s a talented offensive player. That’s why I don’t even know or care to familiarize with efficiency ratings…they make you think too much about how a player plays, especially if you don’t watch the players’ game.

[gatorheelsParticipant]

His PER last season was below average too.  Yeah watching the games is important too but efficiency ratings are pretty accurate.  The PERs take into account nearly every aspect of the game so you get an overall feel for how a player is performing.

I personally like nick young and am waiting for him to succeed but i going to wait on calling him an allstar, he could be something close to a less-ego JR Smith

[Meditated StatesParticipant]

Inconsistent, but very talented. Not sure if he will ever be a consistently good player. Has driving skills, but settles for the outside J too much. Been a fan of his since his college days though, and expected more than I have seen out of him. We will C if he keeps bringing it like he played tonight everynight.

sorry guys but J.R. and Nick is same age i think..so IMO there is no way Nick will be better, J.R. could be a STAR
