CLEVELAND — Instead of continuing to worry about his NBA future as he had done in the two previous offseasons, Nick Young finally felt some joy. He had just inked a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, fulfilling his nearly two-year long aspiration to join a playoff team that needed some secondary scoring.

Therefore, Young could not help but feel in a great mood when he played pickup games at the Drew League, the Los Angeles-based pro-am league that features both homegrown NBA talent and local amateurs eager to hoop.
