On this day: James Young, Jermaine O’Neal signed; Tyler Zeller traded for

James Young Celtics Boston (Organization) Boston Celtics NBA

On this date in Boston Celtics history, shooting guard James Young signed his three-year rookie deal with the Celtics in 2014. A native of Flint, Michigan, Young was picked up 17th overall out of the University of Kentucky in the NBA draft of that same year.

He would spend much of his time playing for the Maine Red Claws (now, Celtics) in the NBA D League (as the G League was still known then) in his inaugural season after missing Summer League due to injuries. Young would play for Boston for a total of three seasons, but could never quite find his footing in the NBA despite abundant patience from the front office.

The Kentucky product averaged 2.3 points and 1.1 rebounds in his time in green and white.
