And suddenly just like that, he's becoming a much more tolerable player to watch.

This is what I wanted to see from him. Not being a total ball stopper on offense and actually caring to play defense. He is, so far, doing both of these things well. And best of all, they are good shots too. Not just mindless contested shots he used to do for his entire career.

This is the Nick Young I like to see. I hope this is the Nick Young we will see for the whole regular season.

I've always been, young > ab... glad nick is playing well

he is not as good a defender as AB, but he is more than capable to defend.. also we all know this but when he catches fire >>

just that sometimes he starts chucking even when he's off, but i think luke can settle him down

The only question I have is, what is the difference between Nick Young and Swaggy P? Are we ready to make that distinction yet?

Not really. Young was a ball stopping, inefficient chucker without a single care in the world to try on defense even with Dantoni. he just got the ball all the time with nobody else on the team is why his numbers were very inflated.

He looks like a whole new player which is a very good thing.

His skills were never a problem
The fact that he's a major dumbazz is.

Maybe, just maybe, Luke can teach him not to be a total knucklehead

Young focused and Lou doing his thing will bring additional 5-10 wins.

I'm still shocked Vegas has us 24 in O/U.

I hope he has a fantastic 1st half and they trade his arse, cant stand his smirk and immaturity.
