Editor's Note: Big ups to Rook6980 for finding this Washington Post Chat with Nick Young. -Jake

3pm -

Nokesville, VA: What was the highlight of your rookie year?

Nick Young: The highlight would probably have to be dunking on LeBron. And scoring 27 against one of my favorite players, Kobe Bryant, which was pretty cool.

Chevy Chase, Md.: Hi Nick - Good luck in the new season - we watched you light it up last year and really like it when you dunk! Do you think your game will change now that you're in a second year? And if so, how? We're hoping that you'll no longer get rookie minutes!

Nick Young: Me too! I've been working hard and I hope it pays off. I'm not a rookie no more, I've been through all the aches and pains, getting thrown in the cold pool, playing 20 minutes one game and not getting in the next. I'm hoping to get consistent minutes this year, and I think if that happens you'll see more highlights, dunks and more of my game.

Only 30 min. but he answered a decent amount of questions

I asked him about seeing his brother’s killer for the first time.

My question on the origin of “bean burrito” came in too late, I think.

Stevenson

Someone asked him about taking DeShawn Stevenson’s job, some time this year….

I liked his response. Very mature, and team oriented. He’s just looking to get some time, and doesn’t want to start any trouble with his teammates. “I’d be happy with 6th man of the year.”

Yeah – I’d be happy if NY won 6th man too!!!
