Pacers' Thaddeus Young: Solid outing Friday vs. Grizzlies in return from injury

Young returned from an eight-game absence to provide 10 points (5-7 FG), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 102-92 victory over the Grizzlies.

Analysis:

Young has been a staple for the Pacers at the power forward position this season, averaging 11.5 points on 52.2 percent shooting, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.7 steals across 31.1 minutes per game. He's also been a surprising help stretching the floor for the Pacers, hitting a career-high 39.6 percent of his attempts from three after knocking down only 23.3 percent of his attempts last season with the Nets. While he isn't a premier fantasy option, he provides a nice combination of steals and threes from the power forward slot while getting consistent minutes.
