Pacers' forward Thaddeus Young has exercised his $13.7M player option for the 2018-2019 season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com. (Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Young will bypass free agency this summer and return to the Pacers for the 2018-2019 season. The 12-year veteran averaged 11.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.7 steals per game this past season while managing a .487/.320/.598 shooting split. Young lacks a high ceiling but he's someone that you can count on for consistent multi-category production. He should once again be considered a quality mid-round target in fantasy drafts next season.
