Celtics nab Kentucky’s James Young at 17

You may remember James Young from Kentucky’s Final Four team. He’s 6-7, 215 and just 18 years old.

The scouting report:

• Super scoring wing
• Excellent penetrator
• Improving shooter with range
• Good motor
• Needs to improve his consistency from 3-point range

Jay Bilas calls Young a “high ceiling” guy. Let’s hope he’s good enough to make us forget about Jeff Green.
