Manage episode 363363677 series 3333789
Cameron Young has one of the most unique stories you'll ever hear. From almost having to transfer division 2 after only playing seven minutes total his entire junior year of college, to eventually becoming MAAC Player of the Year, scoring 55 points in a single college game, and now being on the cusp of realizing his dreams of making an NBA roster, Cam's story is one many could learn from.
In this episode, we talk about that tumultuous 16-17 season that almost derailed his basketball career, and reflect on what went wrong, what could've been done differently, and how he reflects back on that time looking back.
We then dive into Cam's professional career, that has taken him to Italy, Ukraine, and most recently the NBA G League. Cam had the opportunity to sign a six-figure deal with G League ignite, and we talk about the dynamics of playing alongside a superstar like Scoot Henderson, and how that has helped prepare him for a potential role in the NBA.
Of course we recap that historic matchup with Victor Wembanyama, the future #1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, reminisce on playing in Milan, one of the most popular cities in the world, and reflect on how to choose between the NBA and overseas at this point in your career.
As we end every episode, we get some of Cam's fashion takes, and of course, some Quinnipiac stories that you'll only hear on What's In Your Bag!
