Still think he could be real good. When open he shoots a crazy percentage and opposing teams have basically decided to four-man zone with one man assigned just to Young or throw double teams at Young even when it means leaving teammates open. Young is on a team with basically no other talent. I think if Steph Curry were on that team, he may perform similarly or perhaps even worse. At least Young seems slightly more advanced at his ability to run an offense.
I don't want him on the Mavs, but I think a lot of his decline has more to do with the fact that teams have realized that they can play him 5-on-1, because he's the only real threat on that team. Give him a three point shooter or two and someone who can get open for the lob and I still think he could be putting up 28-14
