Highlights

One of Young’s best games in 2017-18 came in November, when the Pacers made one of their early statements of the season by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers. Young finished the game with 26 points, six rebounds and four steals.

In March, Thad put up a monster stat line in a win against the Miami Heat, dropping 28 points with nine rebounds and five steals in the contest.

In December, Young put up a double-double (11 points, 10 rebounds) against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a whopping seven steals.

Finally, one of the cooler but lesser known highlights for Young’s age-29 season was having his jersey retired at his alma mater Mitchell High School in Memphis. He is their all-time leader in scoring, rebounding and shot-blocking.
