The Suns beat the Nuggets today, and there was a player who played very well, the interior Saaddeus Young, who came off the bench, played 17 minutes, shot 3 of 4, scored 6 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, and among these 9 rebounds, there were 4 frontcourt rebounds, and the number of frontcourt rebounds was the first in the game, and the enthusiasm can be seen. In addition, when Thaddeus Young was on the floor, the team won by 15 points, which was also the best in the game! As a 36-year-old veteran, it is really not easy to play at this level.
Maybe many young players don't know Thaddeus Young, but in fact, this person entered the league in the same class as Durant! The 12th pick in the first round of the class of 2007, Thaddeus Young, can be inside and out, space type No. 4, the basic skills are very solid, he is 36 years old this year, and he can still play in the NBA with experience! He has a career in the 76ers, Nets, Pacers, Bulls, The Raptors have played and averaged 11.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in his career.
In this game, the Suns Nuggets, Thaddeus Young faced Jokic, who is one of the best players in the league! Jokic played 41 minutes, but it was still difficult to save the defeat. The Suns' starting center, Eubanks, only played 27 minutes, scoring 5 points and 4 rebounds on 2-of-3 shooting, and was beaten too badly by Jokic. Although Thaddeus Young can't restrain Jokic, on the one hand, Mr. Yue is really powerful, on the other hand, Thaddeus Young's age is there, and it is impossible for him to limit Jokic, but Thaddeus Young used his enthusiasm to grab 9 rebounds and score 6 points, which is not inefficient, which is great.
So let's see, after the game, Vogel praised Thaddeus Young by name, Vogel bluntly said that Thaddeus Young is 3 months older than Durant, a scarce veteran in the league, look at how he plays on the court, how he fights, this is worth learning from our young players. The Suns did not win this game easily, the 36-year-old Durant scored 30 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks on 12-of-20 shooting, but also had 8 turnovers, and the guard line could not provide more support, especially in terms of organizing the offense, which was too bad.
Vogel also said that if a veteran wants to stay in the NBA and is cut, you can come to the Suns to play. This sentence is still praising Thaddeus Young. However, netizens also raised questions, Thomas Jr. is also a veteran, 35 years old, signed by the Suns on a 10-day short-term contract, and he is also the point guard of the Suns, but why don't you use it at all, you played a total of 108 seconds for others in 10 days, and then the contract expired, you are playing with others, right?
