You isolate him and he’s pretty much unstoppable going to the basket. Incredible athlete. Just read about who is father is.Darius Griffin.
Rutgers had a guard eons ago, I think the last name was Jones.... I think we only had him for one year and he must have gotten into academic trouble and resurfaced at LIU, I believe.....there, he put up big numbers, and got some national recognition
anyway, he would drive to the basket with big moves and half of the time the ball would roll out.... I think he must have gotten better at that, with LIU
I used to call him "our almost all-american", because he was so close to being really good, for us
this is the guy he reminds me of, but further along than Jones year here
Posted that the other day. But Young is more like a faster Earl Johnson (lefty point for Bannon).Darius Griffin.
Charles Jones. But he was an outside shot maker. Don't think he went to class andctgen led the country in scoring for the blackbirds.
Well to score the avg. Points he did he must have do that too lol but I just mostly recall his rising up on springs for the outside shot kinda "Q like".I kinda remember the similar moves to the hoop also. Was a long time ago

I was going to say John Battle. Battle was a better jump shooter. But they both played quick and have hops
It’s the quickness and the hops. Yes Battles ability to shoot was a total difference between the two.I don’t see the Battle comparison. He had the most ridiculous mid-range pull up jumper I’ve ever seen at RU. Young is more os a slasher to the rim.
What about another one of the crushing transfers...Luis Flores for a comparable?
Young is super quick and can get to the basket but he needs to work on the finish. The elite ones can finish in traffic.
Charles Jones was the most explosive player I’ve seen at RU. I remembered this one baseline dunk where he was almost parallel to the floor.
This and Charlie as I recall was longer in the 6'3" - 6'5" range with great handle but not the level of quicks of Young.I was in school during the Charles Jones era. He was really smooth but don’t think he had Young’s jets.

I still go with Jones because you just don’t expect it by looking at him.What about Sam Sanders or Dhantay for explosiveness?
EJ dunk was against G’Town or ‘Cuse?Earl Johnson wasn’t lefty, but Al Karner was. EJ wasn’t really a high energy guy on either end or nearly as athletic. He only had one dunk that I recall - on a breakaway against Gtown- and the RAC went nuts because I don’t think anyone thought he could do it. We played mostly below the rim in those days.
ok, ya know things start to go at 61. Thanks. I could have sworn he was though lol. I remember Al as well.Earl Johnson wasn’t lefty, but Al Karner was.

IIRC this one correctly, didn't he have those old school skinny slightly bowed bball legs.. ? they were springs.I still go with Jones because you just don’t expect it by looking at him.
