Player Profile: Brandon Young

As we grind through the summer months, we will embark on player profiles.  The season will start sometime in early November (oh God it is so far away), so if we do a profile every other Monday, starting today, we will finish up...a week too late.  Whoops!

How about this?  We will do one this week and next week, and then we will do one every other Monday after that.  In addition, we will do them in the reverse order of the impact we expect each player to have on the success or failure of the 2014-15 season.

Overview:  Brandon, if you find this page (and there is no shame in Googling yourself), do not be offended!  Your picture is now on the internet at least twice, and you are being profiled as the 16th most impactful player for the Georgia Bulldogs.  That is something.

The reality is that every team has a guy who only gets minutes when the game is out of hand, and Brandon is that guy for Georgia.  That, of course, means Brandon is one of our favorite players on the team.  We always want Brandon to play.

In all seriousness, Brandon's job is to push our guys in practice as hard as he is able to push them.  Pester them.  Harass them.  Make them hate you.  In short, make them better.  That is how you earn those garbage time minutes.

Room for Improvement:  I really have no idea.  Brandon was 0/1 on 3-point attempts last year, so that percentage can certainly come up.  Let's work on that, Brandon.

2014-15 Stats I Could Get Excited About:  .2/.1/.1 points/rebounds/assists per game.

Things I Learned About Brandon From GeorgiaDogs.com:  He likes My Cousin Vinny, his post-game ritual is sleeping, and his non-basketball interest is taking naps.  If Brandon is not your favorite Bulldog now, I seriously cannot help you.

Let's go Brandon, and let's go Dawgs!
