If he could develop an outside shot OMG he would be unstoppable he can get by anyone
Jacob Young
- Thread starter richthedentist
- Start date
Becoming best player on team. Lots of crickets out there.
The rust is coming off. He only had one “Youngish” type play today.
He was the reason we were in it late today. Big shots. Keep chopping, Jacob!
He was the only one that showed up offensively. Everyone else laid an egg.
What I like about this team is that we don't need 1 or 2 particular guys to play strong offensively in order to win. Unfortunately, we can't have all but 1 play poorly.

He deserves 25 minutes a game now ...playing very well
Four threes today. In the second half he saved our bacon several times. The kid is getting much better and starting to play more within himself, which bodes well for us the rest of the way. IMO, he's now had four straight good games.
Love him and his energy. Looks like he’s having fun and is playing very very well last four games
With that being said, we lost on the boards today which isn’t us. Myles needs to bring it every game. That swipe foul at that guard was sheer lazy and get me out type foul

Agree you need to increase his minutes and cut down Mulcahy especially when Geo returns
Was a critic early in the season, but Young maintaining intensity + much better decision making = very happy fan.
Totally agree. Illinois brought more energy and hustle than us today. Not a ton more, but enough. And that swipe foul... unbelievable. This is one to grow on.
I like the restraint with a guy like Cockburn planted in the paint
Most of the board so wrong about Young. Called that Caldwell game would get his rhythm back too. People said it was meanigless. Too bad Myles couldn't have stayed on the court or this would have been a win
Right now Caleb will also be losing those minutes if he doesn’t step it up.
I would agree if we can hit 3s. I rather take our chances either making the buckets or getting to the line.
Until he cools off, if he ever does, young should not be taken off the floor very much.
Caleb’s attempts at splash/highlight reel plays annoy me.

@Scarlet Shack was 100% SPOT-ON:
The “Duncan Effect”!!! Awful 1st semester then exploded going into the fall semester!!

J Young the only guy who brought his A game yesterday.
I’m very happily eating crow, didn’t think the light bulb would click for JY for a long time, if ever. Was too out of control early on, always looking to score and thinking he could take it to the hole no matter who was in the lane. Thought it would start to sink in slowly once Pike drastically cut his minutes.
REALLY happy. JY brings some juice out there on D & now on O. Love it.

Good coaching getting thru to a player who has all the skills to be special and is apparently listening and learning. Win - win!
Hope it continues. Happy for him and need him.
The one dude who has clearly stepped up with Geo out.

This, hes been our best player since the caldwell game. Kid is now playing under controlled and with measure and purpose. Hes picking his spots and letting the game come to him and not forcing anything. Oh yeah and hes an unbelievable defender as well
