Young brought the kind of activity you feel before you even read the box score. A lanky, high-energy wing, he played downhill with force, attacking closeouts like he had somewhere to be. He filled lanes in transition, finishing through bumps and getting to the line with regularity. Defensively, he was solid all-around, whether guarding on-ball or stunting into passing lanes. His game isn’t built on flash, although there is some flair; it’s built on presence, and his fingerprint was all over it.

Victor Scott

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

Young is a dynamic player with a ton of untapped potential. His ability to rebound and play the middle of the paint/lane as a guard is impressive. He often shows his consistent ability to get to the rim and use his touch 15 feet and in. His agility and ball-handling stand out, while his off-ball positioning also adds to his effectiveness. Defensively, he uses his quickness and for the most part, can guard any spot on the floor.
