Free agent guard James Young has agreed to a training camp contract with the Bucks, the team announced on its website.
The 22-year-old played for the Celtics during his three NBA seasons, but spent much of the first two years in the G League. Young was the 17th pick in the 2014 draft, but never lived up to expectations in Boston, appearing in just 89 games over three years. He won a training camp battle for a roster spot last fall, but was used in only 29 games during the season, averaging 2.6 points in 7.6 minutes.
He joined the Pelicans’ summer league team, but hadn’t found a new NBA opportunity until today. He attended a mini-camp in Milwaukee last week, along with several other veteran free agents.
Young was the 17th pick in 2014, not the 14th pick.
Thanks for catching that. It has been fixed.
How can teams already know he’s not worth it? He played 7 minutes a game. Glad we signed him. See what he can do
He’s been on an NBA team for 3 years. A young team with plenty if opportunity, not a vet team tough to crack. The league knows who he is by now.
