I remember saying young was a good defender last year and got clowned by you and others. It's all good tho, glad to see my boy get some credit finally
As well you should have. Nick Young has never been a good defender, ever. It was without merit to try and claim he was good previously.
Last night, and the preseason, he was. So I am giving him credit for that. Last year, the year before, year before that, no. No.

Not saying Kobe held him back but you can tell DRuss feels ready to take over.

Or JC for that matter. Or Nance. Or Tarik. Or Zubac. Or even really D'lo, just got lucky. Probably the most talented, non tankingest team in the league tbh

The Kobe farewell concert really c**kblocked last season. It's fine.
This season it's about NOW and making noise around the L.
Exciting times.

Repped.
It's crazy the difference a couple games make in Laker fans eyes
BTW I would never say he's a GOOD defender... but damn y'all was talking bout releasing him and eating the contract

he's def not a great defender, but you can see he's applying himself lately and the effort makes a ton of difference.
isn't this season a contract year for him?

He's always had the tools to be a good defender. Never the effort tho. I think thats where all the confusion is. He'll have flashes of good effort then make a boneheaded play or bite on a pump fake the next play down. I'm glad he seems to have turned it around tho.

Any NT Laker fans down to go the Laker game on 11-6 against Phoenix and do a mini summit?
My past years going up to LA from SD on Sunday afternoon's has always been smooth with hardly hitting any traffic cruising up the 5 FWY to the 405 Fwy, to the 110 Fwy.
Tickets are pretty cheap right now on the Lakers Ticket Exchange website:

Yes, I sound ridiculous. You goin to bat for his defense against a guy that put up 34-17.
He gave effort. Effort he's never given before. It don't make him Bruce Bowen.
I applaud the effort. But he still ain't a good defender man, let that go.
Next you'll be tellin me what a gifted passer he is.

i'm not saying nick young is a good defender, but i recall several posts over the years that backed up nick young's defense with advanced stats rating him as an above average defender.
i think Essential headed those posts.
