Young would be introduced to the media and the team on Friday, but mentioning the ways in which it can influence The Wizards, as productive a veteran as he was, made the same impact on the team as a young player with Atlanta.
“Just to be able to influence my teammates,” Young said. “I feel like I did a good job as a young player in Atlanta, so I was able to be a vet with these young guys here.
