"It's the draft so you never know what's going to happen," said the 6-foot-7, 200-pound Young, who averaged 17.5 points on 52.5 percent shooting as a junior last season at Southern California. "But it's a great opportunity for me and I'm very excited to come to Washington and play with some great players and some all stars. Hopefully, I can learn from them.

Ernies working his magic yet again!


"It was a very easy decision," Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said of landing Young. "We don't wait for the last second to make a decision. We discuss the draft and how it will play out for a month and half if not longer. As the players get picked, we pluck them off our board and when we picked, he was by far the highest-rated player we had left."

gotta love that ^

is Ernie not a tactician or what? He picked what was best out of the remaining and if Young can handle the pressures of being in the big leagues and Caran and Gilbert guide him, ladies and gentlemen I present to you your 2008 Champs the Washington Wizards!
