Los Angeles Lakers Replace Nick Young With Xavier Henry As Starter

This was bound to happen at some point, and now Nick "Swaggy P" Young can get back to having a define role as a bench player.

Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D’Antoni has replaced Nick Young with Xavier Henry in the team's starting lineup at small forward.

Young has started all three games this season for the Lakers, but has been disappointment, averaging only 8.3 points per game and 1.3 assists while shooting a horrific 27 percent from the field.

Henry, meanwhile, has re-energized his career after being considered a bust coming out of Kansas when he was drafted the Memphis Grizzlies as a lottery pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.
