Thaddeus Young - Solid all-around line off benchYoung produced 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 127-100 loss to Atlanta.ImpactWhile the Raptors have been blown out by a combined 59 points over their last two games, Young has quietly emerged as a 20-plus-minute player off the bench. He's played at least 21 minutes in three straight games, and his outlook should be boosted by OG Anunoby's (finger) absence, which could span multiple weeks. To date, Young hasn't done quite enough to warrant "must-add" status, but his history of all-around production implies that he could be a solid late-season addition if the minutes are there. A year ago, Young averaged 12.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks in 24.3 minutes per game as a member of the Bulls.
