After a high school career at Westchester High School in Los Angeles, Young moved to junior college Arizona Western, where he was named first-team Arizona Community College Athletic Conference as a sophomore. Young signed with Quinnipiac as his four-year college.[1] Young's first season at Quinnipiac consisted of only six minutes as he found himself on coach Tom Moore’s bench.[2] He would later be granted another year of eligibility by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[3]
Young's next season was saved as new head coach Baker Dunleavy inserted Young into the starting lineup. Young responded, averaging 18.8 points a game for the Bobcats and earning second-team All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) honors.[2] Following his fifth year of eligibility being reinstated, Young entered the 2018–19 season as the leading returning scorer in the MAAC and a preseason first-team All-MAAC selection.[4] In a February 18, 2019 game, Young scored 55 points against Siena. The total marked a MAAC and Quinnipiac Division I record and was the most points scored in an NCAA Division I game since North Dakota State’s Ben Woodside scored 60 in 2008.[5] Young led the Bobcats to an 11–7 MAAC record and at the close of the season was named the MAAC Player of the Year and a first-team All-MAAC pick.[6][7]
After going undrafted in the 2019 NBA draft, Young signed his first professional contract with Italian club Pallacanestro Cantù of the Lega Basket Serie A.[8]
On February 25, 2021, Young signed with Cherkaski Mavpy in the Ukrainian Basketball SuperLeague.[9] He scored a season-high 23 points in a 79–88 loss to BC Ternopil.[10]
On October 23, 2021, Young signed with the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League after a successful tryout.[11] However, he was waived at the end of training camp.
On December 5, 2021, Young was signed by the Memphis Hustle.[12] He averaged 17.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.[13]
On February 24, 2022, Young was traded from the Memphis Hustle to the Cleveland Charge in exchange for Dwayne Sutton and the rights to Levi Randolph.[13]
On September 28, 2022, Young signed with the NBA G League Ignite.[14]
