NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
Q. Nick, you're known as a something of a good scorer, is there anything you're going to teach Gilbert when you go in there, or are you going to let him show you a thing or two?
NICK YOUNG: I'm going to let him show me a lot. I could teach him my fadeaway. (Laughter).
Q. How good does it feel to be in a situation like with the Wizards where they have made the playoffs the past few years and you are not going to be going into a rebuilding situation?
NICK YOUNG: It's a great feeling just to be drafted. Going to a team like Washington is great.
I watched them over the past years and I watched what Gilbert did to the Lakers, so it's a great feeling going there.
Q. You grew up in the San Fernando Valley and went to school in downtown Los Angeles, a little nerve-wracking coming 3,000 miles across the country on your own?
NICK YOUNG: Yeah, but me and Gilbert come from the same area so he'll show me the ropes. I'm just glad to be in this situation and it's a blessing.
Q. It's been a very big year for you, documentary film coming out about you; how does it feel as a culmination of your year?
NICK YOUNG: You know, this is great. It ended up just the way I liked it. It's a great feeling to get drafted in the first round and knowing where you're going. The hard three weeks of workouts and plane rides and delays is over now.
