And he stepped up and played a big and important role for us.
Nick is a cold stone shooter and scorer. He is developing an all around game but he can score and that is most needed in the NBA.
He also is a positive young man and a player who connects with fans and his teammates.
In the NBA it is difficult to get shots off. Defenders are big and strong and try to wear you down. Nick has a knack – “Nick Knack” – to get into nooks and crannies and seams and get his shot off. This is an “art and a science” and I was proud to see Nick develop this season.
It is a shame that he is missing time due to injury. We miss him.
Great teams have great back courts. Maybe we have the opportunity to develop a great back court with a three headed group of John Wall, Jordan Crawford and Nick Young. Detroit won championships with Thomas, Dumars and Johnson in the back court. As we have seen there are a lot of minutes to go around and Nick also is big enough to play some small forward. He will be an integral part of our team.
I am a Nick Young fan. He is young, developing, and talented and wants to be in DC.
I happened to read this entry right after reading something about Donald Trump. The two of you are like photonegatives, class-wise. Really thrilled with the way things are shaping up. The rebuild’s moved faster than I ever would have hoped. Oh, and I’d love to see Jeffers come back. He seems like an excellent fit so far.
I like Nick but Jordan Crawford is doing in half a season what it took Nick about three years to accomplish. JC was a tremendous pick up.
