Joe Young: Inefficient 16 points
Young recorded 16 points (6-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, a rebound and a steal across 35 minutes in Tuesday's loss to Texas.
Young wasn't efficient when it comes to his shooting, and while he still had a good game, his efforts were not enough to lift the Squadron into the next round of the playoffs. The former Oregon product ended the season with averages of 18.9 points and 5.8 assists per contest.

Young was the leading scorer for Birmingham, and while he didn't contribute too much in other categories, with perhaps the exception of passing, it was still a remarkable performance for the former Oregon standout. Young is averaging 19.2 points, 5.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game on the season.

Joe Young: Double-double in defeat to RGV
Young tallied 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 assists, four rebounds and a steal across 35 minutes in Monday's 135-114 loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
Young had a season-high in assists as he put up a double-double Monday, but it wasn't enough to get anywhere near the Vipers on the day. He's making just 36.9 percent of his 6.2 three pointers per game this season, but he is shooting excellently from the free-throw line for Birmingham (90.2 percent).

Joe Young: Scores 13 points in defeat
Young recorded 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists and a rebound across 26 minutes in Monday's loss against Agua Caliente.
Young is one of the best pure scorers in the G League, but he was far from being at his best in this game. Despite the subpar performance, he should remain a key cog for the Squadron offensively going forward.

Joe Young: Scores team-high 28 points
Young recorded 28 points (11-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two steals and a rebound across 35 minutes in Sunday's defeat against Sioux Falls.
Young continues to produce at an alarming rate this season and remains one of the best scoring threats for Birmingham, as he has now scored over 25 points in five games already. He has scored in double digits in every game this season and should be a reliable offensive force for Birmingham every time he steps on the court.

Joe Young: Goes for 19 points in win
Young posted 19 points (7-18 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds and four steals across 37 minutes in Tuesday's win over Santa Cruz.
Young was all over the court in this one, working as a defensive presence, as a scorer and as a playmaker. The fact that he missed all seven of his three-point shots is not a good sign, but he continues to produce even when he's struggling in terms of efficiency.

Young had 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven assists, a rebound and a steal across 33 minutes in Sunday's win over Austin.

Joe Young: Scores team-high 32 points
Young recorded 32 points (11-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 34 minutes in Sunday's win over Salt Lake City.
Jared Harper often leads the Squadron in scoring, but this time it was Young who stepped his game up. He's averaging 28.3 points, 6.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game in his first four appearances in the regular season, and he should be one of the team's go-to players on offense on a regular basis going forward.

Joe Young: Efficient performance Saturday
Young posted 27 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and three steals across 37 minutes in Saturday's loss against Iowa.
Young ended just one point away from tying Jared Harper as the team's leading scorer, but that shouldn't be surprising since he was already one of the team's most productive offensive forces both in the first half of the campaign and in the Vegas Showcase.

Joe Young: Dazzles with 40-point game
Young recorded 40 points (13-23 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, three steals, two rebounds and a block across 37 minutes in Thursday's loss to Stockton.
The Squadron lost against the Kings for a second straight game, but this certainly wasn't Young's fault -- he delivered an impressive performance on both ends of the court while also racking up a game-high 40 points. Expect him to operate as one of the Squadron's best scorers almost on a game-to-game basis as long as he's healthy and doesn't get called up to the NBA.

Young is averaging 14.9 points per game this season, and while this game wasn't his best outing, he has delivered some good outings in the past. One area where he needs to improve is his accuracy, though, as he's made just 39.6 percent of his shots.
