Lakers' Nick Young on Lou Williams: 'I don't want us fighting for every shot'

There's only so much basketball to go around on a Los Angeles Lakers team full of trigger-happy, high-volume scorers.

With reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams in town after agreeing to a reported three-year, $21-million deal, an offense that struggled to move the rock may continue to devolve into an isolation-heavy, "me-first" system.

Nick Young, second on the team in shot attempts in 2014-15 at 11.3, isn't worried about any on-court conflicts with Williams when it comes to scoring.

“I don’t want us fighting for every shot,” Young said to the LA Daily News' Mark Medina.

“Lou is my guy. It should be all right. No one can really guard anybody when we’re out there. You can’t leave me open. You can’t leave him open.”

While "Swaggy P" may be correct in his assessment that he and Williams can work as a cohesive unit when on the floor together, the USC alumnus may want to reconsider the notion that the two could never be left open as neither was a particularly efficient shooter last season:

A healthy Kobe Bryant and newly drafted D'Angelo Russell will also warrant their fair share of attempts, giving the Lakers four backcourt options who won't be afraid of taking over games, albeit with inconsistent percentages.

With Bryant set to take on more of a small forward role after playing just nine percent of minutes at the three-spot in his career, Young should continue to be one of head coach Byron Scott's go-to guys off the bench, with Russell and second-year guard Jordan Clarkson starting alongside "The Black Mamba."

Young recently met with general manger Mitch Kupchak, with Young reportedly being told to not take Williams' arrival as a "slap in the face."

The Lakers finished fourth in second-unit scoring last season at 39.4 points per game. Adding Williams to the mix, who ranked third among bench players in scoring at 15.5, could elevate that ranking even higher in 2015-16.
