Thaddeus Young swipes five balls in Bulls' loss to Knicks

Thaddeus Young recorded 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3PT), five steals, three rebounds, and two assists over 32 minutes in Saturday's 125-115 loss to the Knicks.
Fantasy Impact:
The 13th-year power forward has always had a penchant for sniffing out steals but the five that he swiped on Saturday mark his season-high. Young was forced to start all nine games for the Bulls this month in the wake of a hip injury to starting forward Lauri Markkanen. Young plays a very different style of ball than his younger counterpart but put up similar numbers. Outside of steals (where Young had a whopping 2.7 per game), Young's February numbers were within Markkanen's season averages by 0.3 in every category. Young will finish the month averaging 14.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.7 steals, 1.6 assists, and 0.6 blocks. He's worth owning in all leagues until Markkanen returns.
