    Agreed that he's been solid all season. He did nothing to deserve a benching, I'm glad to see him playing again.

    Like I was saying in gameday: he's been GREAT as a help defender this season. He ALWAYS rotates to the big man effectively off the weak side in pick and roll coverage. He's poked loose more balls than I can count off of drive and dishes inside. Last night he came up with a HUGE play on Wiggins that was 100% clean and lead to us having a great shot at winning the game.

    Nick has been tremendous for us. I know his name is out there as a trade candidate, but I hope we keep him. He's been an exemplary role player for us this season.

    Honestly if he keeps playing like this I wouldn't mind moving Nick to the starting five next year. With his shooting and improve defense think he's be a great fit with Jordan and D'Angelo and Julius in the starting lineup.

    Easy fella, it's hard to find impact players off the bench like him and Lou. I think he's best in that role

    Nick would fill that starting role well if we miss out on every SF in free agency. I do like him off the bench though, having Lou around helps if that's the case.

    Nick young is a great catch and shoot player. With Russell giving him looks, and his improved defense, he could be a great addition to the starters. He would be hard to replace on the bench though. That bench unit needs a primary ball handler and a c, and the starters need what is essentially another Nick young, and we'd be golden.

    Nick always has been a capable defender when he wants to .

    Could have had a better career under the right coaching staff ... but he seems fine with just playing ball and having fun

    Nick Young is out tonight with diarrhea. Anthony Brown will be playing 15-20 minutes. Hooray.

    That's embarrassing. One of him and Lou need to go. Can't have two ball stoppers on that second unit.

    We could if we had an offense that featured any kind of spacing, and where the PG could just get them the ball in a predesignated area for an open shot.

    Really Lou and Nick shouldn't be having to create all the time, they would both be money as spot up shooters, but they're playing in the crap system we're running.
