‘s combination of a versatile shot making profile and unwavering confidence from three point range make him a constant priority for opposing defenses. Consistently proving to be a threat from multiple different spots on the floor, he was highly efficient across pretty much every shooting category, ultimately showcasing his dangerous versatility as a shooter— thriving as a movement shooter both sprinting to the corner in transition and in designed Spain action(s) in half court offense, demonstrating that his shooting gravity extends well beyond the three point line shooting it with accuracy from deep range, excelling as a spot up threat off the catch off ball reversals and drive and kicks in the half court. Young allowed his shooting gravity to open up further offense from other areas on the floor and complemented his perimeter shot making by attacking closeouts aggressively to get to open space in the mid range for smooth pull ups.

Young showed the versatility to be effective both on and off the basketball. He played with outstanding pace and control when attacking the rim, never looking rushed while finding different ways to score around the basket. Young also knocked down a few three-pointers, proving he can stretch the floor and make defenses respect his perimeter shot.

With his balanced offensive skill set, poise, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways, Young is a prospect who should begin to attract increased attention from college programs in the near future.

Young made a living scoring the basketball in a plethora of ways. He has the ability to knock down shots from behind the three point line. Young does a great job getting pressure on the paint and navigating to rim off the dribble. I was really impressed by Young’s quickness in transition and can go coast to coast in the blink of an eye. He got to the foul line on more than several occasions. Another thing I like about Young is he does a great job turning the corner on the attack in the half-court and is able to break down the game on the fly. He also showed he could make tough passes and find his teammates for scoring chances. He is looking to build off a solid rookie campaign and is one of the best guards in the Garden State.
