Explosive Kentucky wing whose shot-making fueled a title run
In the 2013-14 season at Kentucky, James Young was a high-volume scoring wing, averaging 14.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, and he delivered 20 points in the 2014 national championship game. At 6-foot-6, his appeal was his length, shot creation and ability to score in bursts from the perimeter and off the bounce. The knock, even then, was consistency and efficiency rather than talent—he had clear NBA-level upside, but his fit depends on whether you want a versatile scorer who can heat up fast, not a polished two-way stopper.
