I did not see or even listen to this game but just checked the box score and what jumped out at me is that J. Young pulled down 5 rebounds in just 7 minutes, including 3 offensive boards which is more than anyone other than Feron who pulled down 3 in 26 minutes. That tells me Young knows his role when he comes in to spot the other bigs a couple of minutes. Maybe he got most of those at garbage time and he was one of the few guys playing hard? Wish everyone on our roster played to their strengths but that doesn't always seem to be the case.

Young came in due to foul trouble with Jasey and Yor. I thought he did a very good job especially on the boards.

Young was terrific and did a great job on the boards for the few minutes he played.

Always helpful to have another big who can rebound and block shots. Looks like all of our bigs had foul trouble yesterday so depth allows those guys to remain aggressive. That's going to be a big roster challenge for next year.

Great observation!

That impressive stat bring back memories of some of the box scores with Kendric Davis and his breathtaking assist-to-turnover ratio.
