ONE YEAR after the first post that sparked the comments. Like are you people out there just randomly googling the names of friends of yours? That having been said, A LOT of great ballers haven't found their way to the NBA. Not "sticking" in this league is no disrespect imho. Glad to hear K.Young is apparently living well in Witchita...

His problem was he did alot of things well, but nothing outstanding & every1 knows his defense was always suspect. When your that athletic but limited on the offensive end, u MUST APPLY yourself on the defensive end to stick around in the league.. All of you saying, whaaaaaaat, u r trippin, he could do this, he could do that.. What your saying is all good, when u r 6'7" with NBA athleticism & playing in the park playgrounds & in high school. U can't help but dominate. But step onto a floor where there are people just as athletic as u, taller, stronger & work harder. U will definitely get an eye opener. Once he stepped on that court with REAL NBA Talent all around him, he quickly realized he couldn't shot with a hand right in his face, he couldn't simply OUT JUMP the defender & he had no change up game to go to... Injuries or not, any1 that knows basketball & saw Koleone Young back when he was drafted could see that when he stepped to the NBA talent level, he had no second move after trying to out jump a defender.. Yeah. He definitely got it off from time to time & got some ohhh & awwwws from the crowd, but nothing consistent enough to make him stick out in the league. Now had he sucked it up, swallowed some of that pride & buckled down on defense.. With his athleticism, he could’ve been a shut down defender from the 1 to the 3 & been a human highlight reel man on the end of some NB fast breaks… Koleone Young was an out of this world athletic baller.

Hes had bad breaks and was plagued by injury. Seldom does the world get to see ALL the variables involved, but Young is one of the coldest players out of the midwest to ever touch a spalding.

Just another guy writing off Darko (and placing an odd amount of trust in NBA scouts). I saw tables and tables of data below the intro, but the intro already bored me too much to bother looking at them closely. On Tuesday, though, I saw that Motoring linked to the article with this description: This is a nice article on our favourite Serbian at… the usual site that specializes in articles on individual people. I think it’s a pretty good read and I love the funny block numbers. I’m not the only one who still has hope for him, apparently. [...] […] Yawn.
