Career highlights and awards

Cameron Young (born March 24, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for the NBA G League Ignite of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the Quinnipiac Bobcats after playing two years at Arizona Western College. Young was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Year for the 2018–19 season.

College career

After a high school career at Westchester High School in Los Angeles, Young moved to junior college Arizona Western, where he was named first-team Arizona Community College Athletic Conference as a sophomore. Young signed with Quinnipiac as his four-year college.[1] Young's first season at Quinnipiac consisted of only six minutes as he found himself on coach Tom Moore’s bench.[2] He would later be granted another year of eligibility by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[3]

Young's next season was saved as new head coach Baker Dunleavy inserted Young into the starting lineup. Young responded, averaging 18.8 points a game for the Bobcats and earning second-team All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) honors.[2] Following his fifth year of eligibility being reinstated, Young entered the 2018–19 season as the leading returning scorer in the MAAC and a preseason first-team All-MAAC selection.[4] In a February 18, 2019 game, Young scored 55 points against Siena. The total marked a MAAC and Quinnipiac Division I record and was the most points scored in an NCAA Division I game since North Dakota State’s Ben Woodside scored 60 in 2008.[5] Young led the Bobcats to an 11–7 MAAC record and at the close of the season was named the MAAC Player of the Year and a first-team All-MAAC pick.[6][7]
