Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reported a couple of days ago that former Kentucky Wildcat James Young and current Boston Celtic will be working out with the Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant the rest of the summer.
The two share the same agent, and the former MVP invited Young to work out in Los Angeles. Durant is coming off foot surgery that limited him to 27 games last season.
“He’s going to be able to start being able to play soon,” Young said. “I can’t wait. He’s a great guy, a great offensive player, one of the best players in the league, one of my favorite players growing up. He’s an older guy, he’s been in the league and he’s doing great, and why not learn from somebody who is doing great? It will definitely take my game up to another level, especially confidence-wise, too.
“Work out with KD, I feel like somebody won’t be able to guard me [as effectively]. It [won’t be] as easy.”
It should be a great boost for Young to get ready for the upcoming NBA Season working out with Durant.
Maybe they can come to Lexington and work out a little too.
