Why is everyone so high on him?
You mean if I told you that you could draft Lou Amundson with an extra 30 pounds of muscle, you wouldn't be excited and think there was an outside shot that you just filled the starting center position with a 2nd round pick? I think he'll be a fine rotation player, but yeah, some people seem excited about an end of rotation player.
It's the same thing as with Darius Miller I guess, and I'm one who was more optimistic than I should have been with him. Since our needs at the position are fairly limited, it's not inconceivable that a cheap role player could be the answer. That's where the excitement comes from, these guys are like scratch offs, probably a break even proposition at best, but you still could win $100,000.

Amundson is exactly who comes to mind when I think of Young. As long as some see that as our expectation for him, that is fine. But I agree with you that some see him as much more and that is where I am a bit confused.
