I think Nick will do well for the Clips. He takes a lot of tough shots for the Wizards because..

a) he has been somewhat selfish this year trying to put up numbers to get a new deal.
b) they have so few offensive options.

He is a better shooter than people realize, and he can create his own shot at the end of the clock. His jumper is very hard to block.

He is a good man defender too although not a great team defender. Making good decisions isn't part of the Nick Young package. However he is a tough guy to beat 1 on 1 off the dribble.

I have thought all year that the Clips were the perfect team for him. I will be rooting for him to do well there.
