萨迪厄斯扬已经表现出了调整自己比赛的意愿，希望能看到更多的上场时间。这位左翼球员在夏天签下了一份为期三年、价值4360万美元的合同后，在与芝加哥公牛队的第一年里，他的上场时间一直在波动。
一部分是他的打法，更像是传统的大前锋谁得分，谁反弹，谁让他的防守发挥份额。然而，公牛队在今年夏天得到了现代分析技术的注入，这项技术的任务是射出更多的3分球，远离长2分球：
–这些是我们员工鼓励的。据NBC芝加哥体育频道的K.C.约翰逊说：“他们鼓励我们三人上篮，我认为这是我们现在所处的联赛类型，一场三人上篮的比赛。”。“不要长时间的二传，少做后传之类的，因为这样会减慢比赛速度，或者阻碍进攻。
只是想进化。如果我开门，我就开枪。如果我没有，我会驾驶它或移动它，这样就能够做很多不同的事情，而不是停留在机翼上，我认为这是我必须继续改进的最大的事情之一。还有和我的队友们，一起吃饭，试着把他们弄得比我们过去打过的比赛好一点
杨是一个32.8%的职业三分射手，最多只能步行。然而，公牛队希望让在场的每个人都受到来自远方的威胁，即使他的技术可以为其他人做出贡献：
是的，我的意思是我的整个职业生涯都不是这样的。但正如我所说，这就是我的要求。杨说：“我是那种我的教练让我做点什么的人，如果他让我穿过一堵砖墙，我知道会很疼，但我会试着穿过那堵砖墙。”。这就是它的本来面目。我一直是团队第一的人。我一直是一个听教练组的话，听他们灌输给我们的东西，听他们想做的事情，然后努力去完成任务的人
萨迪厄斯·杨本赛季每场比赛赚1.1倍，命中率为32.1%。这低于平均水平，但这是按照教练组的要求进行的，这样才能让自己在球场上找到足够的位置，即使公牛队正在试验他们的三个后卫阵容：克里斯邓恩、扎克拉文和托马斯萨托兰斯基。

Bulls’ Thaddeus Young willing to take more 3s, adjust to new era
原文：
Thaddeus Young has shown a willingness to tweak his game in hopes of seeing more time on the floor. The lefty wing has seen his playing time fluctuate through the course of his first year with the Chicago Bulls after inking a three-year, $43.6 million deal in the summer.
Part of it has been his style of play, more so the traditional power forward who will score, rebound, and make his share of defensive plays. Yet the Bulls received an injection of modern analytics this summer, one that came with a mandate to shoot more 3s and stay away from long 2s:
âThose are the things our staff encourages. They encourage us to take threes and layups, I think thatâs the type of league that weâre in now, a 3 and layup-type game,” said Young, according to K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago. “No long twos and less on the post-ups and stuff like that because it slows down the game or it stagnates the offense.
âJust trying to be able to evolve. If Iâm open, Iâll shoot it. If Iâm not, I’ll drive it or move it so just being able to do a lot of different things and not staying on the wing, I think thatâs one of the biggest things that I have to continue to get better at. And also with my teammates, just feeding and trying to figure out them a little bit better than I have in the past games that weâve played so far.â
Young is a 32.8% career 3-point shooter, which pedestrian at best. Yet the Bulls are hoping to make everyone on the floor a threat from distance, even if his skills lend for other contributions:
âYeah, I mean thatâs not how I played pretty much my whole career. But like I said, its whatâs being asked of me. Iâm the type of guy my coach asks me to do something, if he asks me to run through a brick wall, I know itâs going to hurt but Iâm going to try and run through that brick wall,â said Young. âSo it is what it is. Iâve always been a team-first guy. Iâve always been a guy who listens to the coaching staff and what theyâre trying to instill in us and what theyâre trying to do and then try to go out there and accomplish the mission.â
Thaddeus Young is making 1.1 triples per game this season at a 32.1% clip. That’s below average, but it’s going with what the coaching staff has asked of him in order to find himself on the floor enough, even as the Bulls experiment with their three-guard lineup of Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, and Tomas Satoransky.
