Nick Young Dunk Video – Fantasy Basketball

Nick Young is an interesting basketball player. While some say he has Kobe Bryant like skills, he doesn’t always play anywhere near his potential. As a fantasy basketball player, he’s a fringe player at this point.
Young’s best attribute is scoring. He can shoot it from the outside off the dribble or if he’s spotting up. His one-on-one game is actually quite advanced and he’s good at using his dribble to create separation. And as you can see in the Nick Young video below, he’s quite capable of finishing at the rim with a thunderous dunk.
During the 2008-09 fantasy basketball season, he’ll most likely be somewhat valuable early in the season while Gilbert Arenas is sidelined. He can come into the game and become the designated scorer. There’s also a chance he could move into the starting lineup if the Wizards aren’t able to generate enough offense with their current starting group.
Keep an eye on Young, especially early on the season.
Thanks for the heads up!
