“Mighty Joe Young” gets buckets.
A lot of buckets.
The 15th-leading scorer on DraftExpress’s Top-100 board, Young won the Pac-12 Player of the Year Award this past season and led the Oregon Ducks to the Round of 32.
How good was Young putting the ball in the basket? In Oregon’s 36 games, Young only scored in single digits just twice.
Once again, Joe gets buckets.
Josh Riddell from DraftExpress on Young’s capabilities on offense:
"His 3-point shooting dipped slightly last season to 36.4%, but his career average of 39% is an excellent mark, especially considering his high volume of three point attempts, as he attempted 6.3 per 40 minutes pace adjusted for his career. His overall efficiency did decrease some with an increase in usage and his senior season ended with a still-solid 57% true shooting percentage on 16.8 field goal attempts per 40 minutes pace adjusted (59% career). In a smaller role, he’ll need to show he can be as efficient against NBA defenders, cutting out some of the heat check type shots he takes from time to time, some of which is due to the heavy role he was forced to shoulder on an undersized and highly inexperienced squad that was decimated due to injuries and suspensions."
