Per the article:
BJ Young: "His ability to score and explosive first step make him a viable candidate to see plenty of time at shooting guard."
Vander Blue: "his outside shoot needs serious improvement".

In my opinion, BJ Young should be brought down a tier. I think it is actually fairly wide-open between Vander and BJ in terms of draft positioning. Young shot 22% from 3 this year - not exactly the numbers you'd expect from a prospect who is known for being a "scorer". .
Blue had higher scoring efficiency numbers this past year. If both Blue and Young have comparable shooting deficiencies, I don't see why Young should be in a different tier. Blue is regarded as a better defender, or at the very least, at 20 lb's heavier, the more likely of the two to be able to defend both guard positions.
Blue helped lead MU to the Elite 8, while BJ Young was relegated to coming off the bench in 6 games late this season.
Young obviously has NBA athleticism, and a lightning quick first step -- but I don't think that he's in a different class than Blue. I think Blue and he will battle for one of the last guard spots in this draft.
