The young gunner out of Kentucky came into the Association with a lot of potential, but still has a long way to go.
The Celtics drafted James Young 17th overall in the 2014 NBA draft. He had spent a single season at Kentucky, and had helped lead them through the NCAA tournament, all the way to the final game. He was projected to be a talented offensive swingman, and a potential back-up and eventual replacement for Jeff Green. Originally, Young was expected to become the starting swingman that we presently need.
