[Cougar Sports Media @CougSportsMedia]

Richie Saunders on Kevin Young's pitch to him:

"His pitch to me was really twofold:

'I'm going to help you become a better closeout player. I'm going to help you become an elite closeout player. So anytime somebody's running at you, close out possession. And then two, I'm gonna help you become elite at coming off ball screens and reading the defense.'

And essentially like taking that and him explaining how he was going to do that coming from his background, it was really hard to pass up on.

I want to have a long career in the NBA. And he essentially helped create a great foundation to move into this next level."

[Greg Wrubell @gregwrubell]

BYU head coach Kevin Young, in this pre-draft piece from @MattNorlander, on AJ Dybantsa: "I have one piece of advice: Don't overthink this."

"This is no knock on the other guys. I think those guys are great players. But if you're just talking straight NBA, I say this with all due respect to the writers and the bloggers and the rankers. I've lived the NBA life. I've been in the war rooms. I've been to the Finals. He's the kind of guy everyone's trying to get. The 6-9, can-do-everything who, by the way, is a freak athlete. Who, by the way, checks all the boxes from a human being standpoint. Like, those are so rare that it's, just, do not overthink this." https://t.co/yTneMlkvpr
