Honorable Mention: Thaddeus Young vs. Zach Randolph

Thaddeus Young (2015-16): 15.1 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 0.5 BPG

Zach Randolph (2013-14): 17.4 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 0.3 BPG

An honorable mention is the comparison between Thaddeus Young and Zach Randolph. Of course, the Nets traded Young this offseason to the Indiana Pacers, so that is the reason this is labeled as an honorable mention.

Just say that the Nets didn’t trade Young though. Young and Randolph actually have very similar games, despite their vastly different body types. Both are strong lefties who aren’t that great at shooting the basketball. but can certainly attack players down in the paint and perform a number of crafty spin moves. Also, both Young and Randolph are great rebounders and big compliments to whatever center they are paired with in the frontcourt.
