As a starter last year, Young averaged 6.3 pts 4.7 rbs and 1.3 blks. I think he shot about 64% from the field as well.
Don't Sleep on Solomon Young in 2017/18

Young needs to get better on that ball screen defense. He was killed on the pick and roll. Hopefully he can improve on that this summer. And, he needs to develop a post move. Maybe a jump hook. We're going to need more than a garbage man next year.
On very low usage rate. On the conference season he was under 12%. With no off-season development he's probably already a 10 and 6 guy from just teammates looking for him more on secondary action.
But he's better than that imo. With some added development, muscle, and comfort his usage should be closer to 20%. It would also help if his FT% increased- he's going to get attempts.
I found the original post quite Informative. Let us do our communal part to complete the ratings sweep.
I wasn't high on him earlier on last season, but was pleased with how he progressed.
This year should be exciting for him!

Young seems like a guy who needs to be set up for buckets, doesn't really create much on his own (outside of put-backs). I think that remains the same for the majority of his career. If we have to rely on him for scoring next year, I think we are in trouble.
I didn't really dislike this, I just wanted to help Gunner complete the cycle.
Also, don't sleep with Solomon Young unless it is consensual and it's what both of you want. I feel like that is much better advice than the OP.
A tandem with potential. They're going to miss the presence of Deonte and Burton.
(If we keep going on this theme, we won't have any scholarships left.)
Has the easiest one not been done? Or did I miss it?
I think both Weiler and Babb will really mesh together well on the court.
We missed on a few potentially good ones. But Solomon, Jackson,babb,wiggington, and lard are a pretty good foundation. I'm not worried at all...excited!
He has looked a lot better lately along with Talley. Lard is an absolute beast. 17 boards.
The presence of Young helps Lard and vice versa. Solomon is a hard hat guy. Always battling.
I always worried a little those two might overlap on the court or in personality.
Seems not the case. They are finding a way to play with each other, rough people up on the boards, and they are both getting better at low-low passing.
Lard scores a lot, rebounds, and blocks, but Solomon does so many little things on offense to create space, is an excellent positional defender, and boxes out so well.
