Drafted 17th overall in the 2014 NBA Draft as an 18-year-old fresh out of college, James Young‘s NBA readiness was questioned. After struggling to crack the Boston Celtics rotation for the past two seasons, it appears the answer to that question is a resounding no. As a matter of fact, one could argue that Young actually regressed in his second professional season. However, Young – who turns 21 this August – is still the youngest player on Boston’s current roster.
Is it still too early to give up on Young? In a word, yes.
