Nick Young

If you would’ve said leading up to the contest that Nick Young was going to really give a good enough fight to be in the top half of contests I’d probably laugh. But, that is where the Lakers veteran found himself when the results came in on Saturday night.

Young was better than Thompson, McCollum, Matthews, and Lowry.

While scoring the same as Thompson with 18 points, Young finished ahead of him in the final standings.

It was a great way for Young to make an impact on All-Star weekend, as no Lakers will be playing in the All-Star game for the first time in over two decades.

Guess that tells you how much times have changed, eh?
