Overview

  • Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported the agreement, which positions Young to vie for Miami’s remaining two-way opening in training camp.
  • Young excelled in the G League with 21.7 points, 7.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game over 43 contests and earned All-Rookie honors with a third-place finish in Rookie of the Year voting.
  • He appeared in six NBA games for the Bulls after signing a two-way deal in February, totaling 30 minutes before being waived in July to clear a slot for Yuki Kawamura.

  • Young drew offseason interest from Australia’s Perth Wildcats but is continuing his NBA pursuit with this opportunity in Miami.
