2007 Draft Profile
Young possesses a solid understanding of the game, and how to employ the mid-range jumper. He’ll use a number of spins, hesitation moves and crossovers to gain separation for his pull-up jumper. When he moves without the ball, he shows the ability to work off screens and convert catch and shoot plays. His post up skills are advanced, as he welcomes the opportunity to shoot his turnaround jumper. Has a good set of physical tools to be a competent defender on the next level. His long arms allow him to be a real force playing the passing lanes for easy steals. Needs to add more upper body strength to his frame to allow him to finish after contact. Needs to improve his work ethic and show some sort of a killer instinct to be effective at the next level.
