Young's last season was a deep-bench stint with Miami: 14 games, 4.2 minutes, 1.8 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. He shot 40.0 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from three and 100.0 percent from the line on a 48.3 true shooting mark, with a usage rate of 17.8 and a plus-minus of 0.1. The 26-year-old guard, in his second NBA season out of Maryland, logged most of his appearances in short bursts, often under five minutes a night.

Young's last ten appearances tell the story of a reserve rarely trusted with extended run: 10.0 minutes against Chicago on Feb. 1 was his longest outing in that stretch, and most nights he played between one and four minutes. He scored in single digits every time out, topping out at 3 points on multiple occasions, including an April 12 win over Atlanta in just 2.8 minutes. He is not currently listed on the injury report.
