Very happy for Patric, one of the truly awesome guys to have covered here at Florida. Very good player and an even better person. He'll be successful in whatever he does, basketball or otherwise. Really cool to see him get a shot with the NBA. That he gets to do it for the team I support as a born-and-raised New Orleanian is even cooler. Hope he makes an impact.
With Anthony Davis being a more finesse player, they'll be counting on Young to come off the bench and provide he and Asik with a breather while providing the opponents with a tough rebounding matchup and a physical inside player. Monty Williams loves defensive players and has tried to build New Orleans around strong defense, which gives Young a great chance to stick around and play a key role in New Orleans for a while.
