SALT LAKE CITY -- James Young probably shouldn't be playing in a summer league. First-round picks prepping for their third NBA season typically have distinguished themselves by this point. But with the Boston Celtics overflowing with recent draftees, including seven first-round picks and 12 total selections over the past three drafts, Young is out west this week trying to build some job security.
The No. 17 pick in the 2014 draft, Young is, well, young. He won't turn 21 until August. He's only 14 months older than 19-year-old rookie Jaylen Brown, and is the third-youngest player on Boston's summer squad.
