At Sunday’s practice, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr implored new addition Nick Young to shoot more. It’s a funny request for one of the most notorious chuckers in recent NBA history, and even more absurd given the Warriors’ egalitarian offense.
Young explained that he’s been a little passive during his integration with the team’s offense. It’s already set, and he’s been just trying to fit in.
But Nick Young’s jump shot is why he was signed, and it could provide a needed spark to the bench unit. During the offseason, I explained how the signings of Nick Young and Omri Casspi were a concerted effort to upgrade the supporting cast’s shooting.
