2014 NBA Draft Scouting Report: James Young
Position: Shooting Guard
Size: 6-6, 215
School: Kentucky, Freshman
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: Young has one of the prettiest outside strokes in all of college basketball. It is his outside shooting ability that will be his biggest weapon in the NBA and teams are always looking for deadly shooters. He is a capable athlete as well which is why he figures to be a mid-late lottery pick.
Player Comparison: Aaron Afflalo. Afflalo has developed into a terrific outside shooter which is Young’s M.O. Both guys are better off when others create and set them up for open looks. Afflalo is a more tenacious defender but if Young can continue to improve his all-around game like Afflalo has since arriving in the league, Young should be a dangerous offensive weapon.
