Young has spent the past four seasons with the Lakers after stints with the Philadelphia 76ers, Washington Wizards, and Los Angeles Clippers. Young had one of his best seasons in recent years with the club under head coach Luke Walton.

Young started and played in 60 games. He averaged 13.2 points per game while shooting 40% from three. Young will test the open market and look for a bigger payout. His ability to shoot the three ball will make him a valuable asset.
