Throughout shooting guard James Young‘s two-plus season tenure with the Boston Celtics, we have witnessed him plagued by an utter lack of opportunity while failing to showcase his potential in the scarce chances that he has received.
On Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers, Celtics head coach Brad Stevens finally offered Young a dosage of playing time, an opening the Young took off with. In 16 minutes of action, his highest minutes total since a March 2016 blowout defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Young posted the most impressive outing of his brief but tumultuous career by far.
