This season, Young is expected to play a pivotal role for a Lakers team looking to surprise some people this year. He will likely be the sixth man for the team, and be one of the leading scorers again.

Young knows what he does well in the NBA and he is not going to do anything to mess up the arm that he scores with. As weird as it sounds, it’s no different than baseball players who have all of their superstitions before they come up to hit.

Whatever Young is doing, he should keep doing it because the Lakers are going to need all of his points this season.
