<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>By Ivan Carter Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, June 30, 2007; Page E01 There may come a day when Nick Young will be known primarily for his ability to shoot a basketball. But in the short term, Young's fame will likely derive from his role in a soon-to-be released documentary. Young, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound shooting guard from Southern Cal, was taken by the Washington Wizards with the 16th pick in Thursday night's NBA draft. When he was presented with a jersey and introduced as the newest Wizard during a news conference at Verizon Center yesterday afternoon, Young flashed a huge smile and didn't show a hint of nervousness. Young should be comfortable in front of the cameras because he's had plenty of practice since a film crew began following him and his family in 2003. The documentary is titled "Second Chance Season" and chronicles Young's journey from being one of the Los Angeles area's top high school stars to Thursday night when his NBA dream became reality. Along the way, Young changed high schools several times, had to sweat out the results of the SAT that eventually gained him admission into USC and talked openly about the pain he and his family still feel over losing his older brother, Charles Jr., in a shooting when Nick was 5 years old. The film, which was directed by Dan Forer, premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival last week. Footage from draft night was added yesterday and the 90-minute film will re-air in Los Angeles tomorrow.</div> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...7062902351.html It will be great having a guy who knows what hard work is all about on this squad. His story is a pretty tough one and he has that in common with Arenas and Butler who both had tough obstacles to get past during their childhood. He's the kind of guy that Abe Pollin loves bringing to a franchise. :dribble:
