Player Ryan Young

[physicsfactor]

This man is truly flying under the radar

 

[rhfarmer]

Ryan Young in black face should be the final nail in the coffin for this dying program.

One thing you have to love is how he plays as hard and physical as a psycho with temper problems, but isn't dirty and somehow never loses his cool even a little bit. Like every other play, I half expect the refs to need to come in and break up a barking/shoving match like when Grayson would always get tangled up with dudes, just based on how physical and extra he is. I don't think it's happened once, though. It's like he dedicates every ounce of energy to trying to win and there's none left over to care about or respond to anything else.

This may literally be what's happening. I've never seen anyone breathing as hard during a timeout as him. It can't be easy for an extremely large and slightly doughy man to play harder than small guards for 20 straight minutes.

I want him as a backup to Stewart next year

Will be enrolled in MBA program next year at Duke.

Undergrad from Northwestern, grad degree from Duke...not bad!

There are still people who don't want this elite 3pt shooter and rebounder to play 30+ mpg next to Filipowski this season.

Ryan Young launching a three is the chef’s kiss of WTF are we doing out there.

 

[Dukenation12]

Ryan didn’t even attempt one last season so I’m sure he won’t he launching many in a season. But seeing as he shot close to 70% from the FT line I wouldn’t be opposed to the occasional wide open 3 attempt to keep the defense honest. Or even an elbow/FT jumper. Young does 99% of his work in the post/paint though-I can’t remember a basket last season he shot outside of 5 feet from the basket.

 

[physicsfactor]

Please never an elbow/FT jumper unless he has turned into senior Ryan Kelly.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Please never an elbow/FT jumper unless he has turned into senior Ryan Kelly.

Injured, with a fucked up foot? That’s almost a guarantee.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

If he’s a low usage, 140+ OEff, 40% 3pt, 15% OReb, 25% DReb player, would you bench Filipowski and go with Young/Mitchell/Foster/McCain/Proctor?

 

[DurhamSon]

Unironically yes if you told me that Flip's shooting splits would be no better than 3% across the board improved

 

[rome8180]

Would possibly be a return to K-ball, since that lineup is probably a top 10 offense with a sub-50 defense.

I see you there

SIAP, but damn, we were apparently +18 in Ryan's 11:27 today. I haven't watched the game yet, but that makes it seem like his foul trouble messed stuff up.

 

[CK86]

The refs decided very quickly that they were not going to let him play today. His foul out was pathetic.

Only Blue Devil fouled out @ Wake. I consider that a success.
