PATTERNS

Boom-or-bust player. Young's impact swings wildly relative to his average — some nights dominant, others invisible. Scoring varies by ~8 points per game.

Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 43% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.

Defensive impact is minimal for a 26-minute player. Not generating enough contests, rim protection, or forced turnovers to move the needle.

Small downward trend. First-half impact: +4.1, second-half: +1.6. Not alarming yet, but trending the wrong direction.
