Oh, I don't think that'll happen, either. It's very possible, though, especially if, as long as we're hypothesizing, the Sixers win the title this year and Young hits the banquet / championship celebration circuit, stops working hard on his game, gets fat and lazy, finally after a few years starts working on his game again but never achieves his full potential, etc. Obviously it's a small chance in any case, but still a chance.
And even if he does continue to improve, no one has that much idea how much he'll improve, or how consistent he'll be, or how long his career will be. (Of course, you can say the same about Brewer, but at least with two seasons of data you can look at trends and make some more educated extrapolations.)
