Young’s season has been a surprise for everyone inside and outside the Lakers organization. At 31 years old he is shooting a career-high 41.3 percent from 3, per Basketball-Reference.com, and participated in his first Three-Point Contest. Unfortunately, he fell short in the first round, just a money ball away from tying second round qualifier Kemba Walker.
Swaggy P has been one of the most positive notes for the past half season.
Everyone expected him to be traded or released in the summer after the unsuccessful run with coach Byron Scott, but the arrival of Walton has revitalized not only the young players but also the veteran.
