James Young looking to make impression in sophomore campaign

James Young did not have the rookie year that he expected. A preseason car accident left him with whiplash that resulted in him missing last years summer league, a pulled hamstring caused him to miss much of training camp, and a separated shoulder suffered in December while playing for the C's D-League affiliate in Maine forced him to miss some of the regular season. Those factors, along with Young being 19 years old, had him playing catch up for the entire season. As a result he never really got his footing on the Celtic roster.

Young was signed and recalled 11 times to the D-League, and while there he seems to have made the most of it.
