Nick Young will be the Surprise Player For the Lakers

Nick Young made it onto the Lakers Final Roster.

Nick Young has had his share of confrontations with the team and coaches. Most fans wanted the organization to release him and search for a player who can produce more consistently. It seem that having a new coach for the Lakers helped Nick turn his attitude around.

The only evidence everyone has of his game turning around is during the preseason games. In the past he has been able to contribute when needed and last year was a dull year for him. This year everyone can expect more from him.

For one he made it onto the Lakers roster which means he worked hard to make it and secondly Luke Walton likes what he sees in Young so far through the preseason.

Nick Young and his teammates have made amends and are getting along now. They have forgiven and moved on from the past. Everyone has moved on. This is healthy for the Lakers which means the team can focus on winning games and improving as a team themselves.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a young team who will impress everyone this year despite their record, whether it is negative or positive. This team is going to accomplish greatness.

Nick Young is a young talented player when producing helps lift the team up. He was the player that would spark the energy. That seems to have changed. His role seems to have changed. He has been a decent defender, yet his teammates are saying he has stepped up his defense.

Nick Young can shoot threes, pass the ball, and is a good defender, hence the comparison to Bruce Bowen.

Luke Walton is hoping to play Young more minutes, therefore he can produce by putting up points and making plays for his teammates. It seems as if he is now someone everyone wants to be around and is no longer a distraction. Sometimes healing just takes an apology and time.

Don’t forget Young would spark the team by coming off the bench putting up three-pointers, then the team would carry off of that. He will still do that, but he is someone who brings energy to the team when they are down a huge deficit, not just behind a few points.

He will be the Lakers player who will surprise everyone this year because of what happened in the past.

Nick Young being released from the Lakers was encouraged by fans, yet it did not happen.

Now he is on the Lakers roster and will play opening night against the Houston Rockets. Nick Young is a ball of energy, balanced shooter, and an avid defender. He seems to be more productive off the bench and when on the same page with his teammates.
