Barring new information between now and the draft, the Cavs will probably operate like LeBron James is returning. Giving him one of the best shooters in recent memory to work alongside is a good start.

There are plenty of valid concerns with Young, ranging from shot selection to his slight frame. His struggles during the second half of the season probably left some scouts worried, even if they weren’t quite as bad as the national media made them out to be.

Still, Young is capable of pulling up and drilling shots from well beyond the NBA 3-point line. He’s a crafty ball handler and elite playmaker as well, but his ability to work off the ball could be key next to LeBron, should the latter remain with the Cavaliers.
