If Chris Washburn had never played in the NBA then Josh Howard would be the dumbest player to EVER be there. If you need a defender who can scorer, who won’t hog the ball, then Young would be a good pick. I know he is not known for his offense, but he gets garbage points and putbacks, and a guy who does not hunt his shot always makes a good teammate.

I like Young and we’ve had him high in our rankings at http://www.nbadraftdaycountdown.com for quite some time but he doesn’t have the overall game of Howard. I think Sam will be tough as nails and do great work on D and the glass but I don’t see much potential for him offensively. Also, he’s already 24.

Sometimes measurements lie cause when I saw the combine numbers they didn’t resemble what his athleticism looks like at all on tv.

It’s a shame that he’s gonna go late in the first. Like we all know though, the league is so wrapped up in “youth” and “potential,” that teams will miss on someone who can help them immediately. This dude is gonna be super-nice in the league.

Raptors need a slasher/finisher like Derozan or Evans, I’m iffy on Young. Anthony Parker aint cutting it anymore.

I see a lot of similarities. I followed both players and I can see something similar happening, although I think now we’ve seen the REAL Josh Howard. He’s not a legit #2 option on a contending team, more like 2.5 – better than a 3rd scorer, but not reliable enough to be 2nd scorer. And I see the same future for Crater-face Sam.
