Young was the definition of a “gold soldier” in Philadelphia. He did not complain much, he laced his sneakers up every night and he gave an honest effort. He was not the most talented guy on the floor, but he was one of the hardest workers. He averaged 13.7 points and 5.5 rebounds during his time with the Sixers and he was a big part of the playoff teams in 2008 and 2009 which were his first two years in the league.
