Young is quite experienced player. Thanks to Young's pro career he managed to play on four different continents (Europe, Asia, Africa and of course North America) in six different countries. He has played previously professionally in China (Beijing), France (Chalons Reims), Israel (Gilboa Galil and Ironi Nahariya), Italy (Cd'Orlando and Basket Barcellona), Russia (Enisey) and The Basketball Tournament (Armored Athlete and Midwest Dream).
