Nick Young on Playing in Europe (from 2010)

DCLS: You're gonna hate this question, but since you weren't playing for a bit, would you ever consider playing in Europe?
NY: Probably, I dunno, maybe if I just wanted to experiment. But some people just forget about them once they're over there. You don't see nothing, no highlights of 'em. I'm a person that at least needs to see myself a little bit.

DCLS: It's good money though, and you'd sneak onto some European highlights, but they also probably play in like high school gyms.
NY: Yeah, people be smokin' cigarettes at the game and stuff, but it is good money though.

Forgot to add the obvious, but interesting given his reported interest in China

Thanks for posting this

The exposure thing is one of the biggest reasons I doubt he signs overseas. He does like attention, at least some form of it, and that wouldn’t be enough to satisfy him.

Also good to see that he knows his handle has been sub par for a while now and its obviously affecting his entire offensive game. If he tightens it up, maybe he’s able to get to the cup a little more and start drawing some fouls.

I'm not going to think of something extra witty or clever to say, I don't want to convince you to see things my way, I just have 2 words for you: JEREMY LAMB
