I'm sayin the Wiz are ? that's understood but Young is ballin this year. Only SG's currently puttin up better numbers are D Wade, Joe Johnson and Captain Jack

Nick Young Pts 17.3 Reb 2.8 Ast 1.3

What SG's are outballin Nick right now in the East?

    Yes but not because he's that good. The SG position is weak league wide right now.

    It's funny that you left out Ray Allen, you didn't mention Jamal Crawford either, somebody's gotta score the points for the Wizards bruh

    Jamal Crawford is avg a lil over 15, and Ray and Nick's numbers are basically identical

    Difference is that Ray's buckets count more because his team wins... ANYONE can put up good numbers on a wack team. It's much harder to do that when your team expects to win every night. Ray closes out games with big shots... Wizards games = blowouts by the 2nd qtr.

    niether john salmons or landry fields is better than Nick young ^^^

    If he was starting the whole year he'd be around 20ppg, he's not top 5 yet imo ? all he can do right now is score.

    Also, hes been shootin pretty well as far as percentages go but he does take some ridiculous shots which makes me think the percentage will drop too. GOAT fantasy free agent pick up though, him and Deandre Jordan have been great for me

    fields also averaging the most rebounds amongst guards, and hes a rookie, salmons also hasnt been a 100% all season and has a better all around game, plays defense and has performed in the playoffs, look what happened to chicago when they traded for him a few years back and look what happened to milwaukee last year, nobody was hotter than milwaukee after the deadline till bogut got hurt, jrich and nick young are the same type of player but right now due to experience ill take jrich, the difference between you and me is i watch the sport i dont just look at stats, im trying to be respectful but i want to call you a ? idiot for saying hes better than ray i dont even want to go there because anyone who actually thinks that then there opinion is invalid and doesnt matter to me, we're talking about a player who is about to become the greatest 3 point shooter of all time hands down, whose play off the ball is 2nd to none, who has been making clutch shots for over a decade now, and your gonna even put nick young in the same sentence as ray because he averages 17 for the worst team in the league?? von wafer could average 17 for the wiz if he shot enough

    So currently D Wade, Joe Johnson, S. Jackson, and Ray are consensus Top 5 SG.....Explain to me how Nick doesn't at least deserve the 5 spot with the numbers he's putting up?

    ya ? is sleeping on Rip b, he's gonna be good again for some contending team hopefully in the 2nd half of the year.

    I agree though with the the point about Nick young scoring on a bad team, but if you cant just use "the eye test" and see that Young is a better than Fields and Salmons then idk what to tell you. (this is coming from a Knicks fan that loves Landry fields btw nh)

    fields vs young is worth an argument, fields is having a great rookie campaign, hes not scoring as much but hes a 4th/5th option on a good team, i dont know if he still is leading the league in boards amongst guards but hes one of the best rebounding guards and is a good defender with a decent iq for a rookie, i think he got a brighter future, salmons plays more small forward but to me its a no brainer i would take salmons if im trying to build a contending squad

    do you watch nick young play hes terrible. All he does is stand around till they pass him the ball and shoot. He never passes the ball 1.3 assist a game. He plays on a team full of chuckers thats why they suck
