3. Michael Young

Michael Young is a 6’9″ senior forward from Pittsburgh. He weighs in at a whopping 235 pounds and averaged 33.2 minutes per game in his final year with the team. During his 2016-17 NCAA season, Young averaged 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.

Young was a glue guy for Pittsburgh, a leader who saw his fair share of battles on the college level. While he did average a strong amount of points per game, his shooting percentages weren’t great and his size may become more of a problem in the NBA. Young might need to find ways to improve his defensive impact or rebounding abilities to find a home on the Washington Wizards.

During his four years in college, Young averaged just 0.6 blocks and 0.5 steals per game. He doesn’t seem to bring much on that side of the ball, and that may not sit well with any NBA franchise come time to make roster cuts.

The other problem is his need for the ball offensively. He most likely won’t be able to average the 14.5 field goal attempts he did for Pittsburgh his senior year.
