Joe Young had lofty goals headed into the 2016-17 season. He wanted to average 4-5 steals per game (something no one else — not even Alvin Robertson (2.71), Michael Jordan (2.35), or John Stockton (2.17) —- has ever done), and he aspired to become a Top-5 point guard (something that 25 starting point guards currently are not). This sort of logic, however, did not stop him from trying.
“When I heard that LeBron was getting up at 5:30 - 6:00 (AM),” Young told Pacers.com’s Mark Montieth of the thought process behind his rigorous offseason training regimen.
