veteran Oregon guard who brings shot-making and steady production
In the 2021-22 season at Oregon, Jacob Young averaged 12.0 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 35 games, while shooting 42.2% from the field and 25.7% from three[1][2]. He also delivered a memorable ceiling-raiser with 23 points in Oregon’s upset of No. 3 UCLA, showing he can take over when the lights are bright[4][5]. The appeal is his experience, toughness, and proven ability to create offense in big moments; the caveat is that his outside shot has been inconsistent, so he fits best with a team that values veteran guard play over pure spacing[1][2][9].
