Young's perfect for this system- he'll thrive in an up and down offense and he never runs out of gas. He's had several game winning clutch shots in college, and i can see him nailing a few off of gilbert drives in the nba. Plus he can sky. His offensive game is much, much better than DS's (although DS probably has a better man defensive game at this point). Young can create his own shot and get to the rim.

They could keep Stevenson for the MLE. I see Young more as a replacement off the bench for Hayes. Stevenson, as you say, gives you some D. He could be expendable though if the Zards take DJ at #47. But with Gasol and Gray still on the board, they could go big. Or they could go really small and get a backup point guard/replacement for Antonio Daniels in Taurean Green.
Gasol has big upside but very raw. I lean toward Gray at #47 if he's there
