Golden State Warriors: Comparing each player to an Avenger

Nick Young: Rocket Raccoon

We’re taking our first trip out to the confines of space with this pick, comparing Nick Young to the most outspoken member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket.

Fast to heat up and quick on the trigger, Young isn’t afraid to take the big shots. He’ll continue to shoot even when he’s missing, displaying an irrational level of confidence that allows him to shrug off mistakes and focus on the task at hand.

He may be a bit of a loose cannon at times, but you just can’t imagine life being as interesting or entertaining without him on the team. Every team needs that guy who shoots first and asks questions later, and Young is exactly that type of teammate.

When sh*t hits the fan, he’s the wildcard you immediately put into play in hopes he does something so unexpected that it completely flusters the enemy. An “all or nothing” kind of guy, his ability to think out of the box can either make or break a solid gameplan.
