I'm not sure there's any indication he isn't capable of being an ACC starter Let's put it this way, if someone averaging 16.3 isn't capable of being an ACC starter then I'm not sure there are many players who ARE capable of it People have an odd idea of what an "ACC caliber player" is, and this is an extension of that argument. He can very clearly play. He needs to be more consistent.

He seems to often have a very flat shot. Especially on 3s.

This kid has ACC talent but he needs 3,4,5 players

Motivation? Where was that the other 75% of the season? Maybe interviewing

Lol, no.

He’s ok player
MrFantastic! • 03/12/25 06:26 PM ET
Firing up 19 shots last night while making only 5 doesn't inspire that
atlhokie1 • 03/12/25 06:29 PM ET
Let's compare him to a player of the past.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/13/25 09:17 AM ET
Well, probably a lot of players could score that amount of points if they

VT One • 03/12/25 08:25 PM ET
Agree but right now he too often creates his own BAD shot.
marcbvtgm • 03/13/25 11:36 AM ET
He’s streaky player**

You misspelled 'inconsistent'.**

Team had a bad combination poor talent and poor BB IQ.

Young is not an ACC starter. VT is only team he would start **

His 3 wasn't falling most of the season. Shooting 30% from 3
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/12/25 07:04 PM ET
I find it interesting that Young is similar to a player we had last year.

I would be surprised if any current player makes a move until they see who

vtfin91 • 03/12/25 03:08 PM ET
I want Schutt, Johnson and Jones to stay and JYoung & BRech to go.

Why Schutt but not Young? Some of it was due to illness, but he was totally
HokieEngineer • 03/12/25 08:35 PM ET
I don't think he's been 100% all season. He has a higher ceiling than JY**

Maybe, if we get/develop someone who can kick out from the post. However,
