Young is playing with a lot of confidence right now and has posted three straight deep league specials, but it's anybody's guess if he can keep that up. |

Sam Young will start in Monday's game against the Spurs, with Gerald Green coming off the bench. |

Sam Young, Sundiata Gaines and Blake Ahearn are competing for the two final roster spots in Pacers camp. |
Interestingly, Young apparently had a screw "pierced in his arm" while working out for the Raptors before signing with the Pacers. Of the three, Young is the most likely to make the roster, while Gaines and Ahearn duke it out for third-string PG duties. |

Pacers officially sign F Sam Young. |
Young does have some good run under his belt and he even cracked the 20 minutes-per-game mark in the 2010-2011 season with the Grizzlies. His playing time was cut almost in half last season and he looked like he lost a step in his campaign. He'll need a lot to happen to gain fantasy value. |

The Nets could target Sam Young if Donte Greene (ankle) is sidelined for an extended period of time. |

Sam Young will likely dress for the Sixers on Friday but Doug Collins is unsure if he'll play. |
Young drove for 13 hours to arrive in Philadelphia from Memphis and needs to get acclimated to his new team. Even if he does play, Young is not worth fantasy consideration. |

Sam Young will likely be used as a defensive stopper in the second unit. |
Young asked to be traded because he wasn't playing in Memphis, but consistent playing time won't be promised to him in Philadelphia, either. Even if he does garner a stable role in the second unit, Young isn't a fantasy option in standard sized leagues. |

The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired G/F Sam Young from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for a draft pick. |
The Grizzlies were shopping the swingman and the Sixers were looking to add depth on the wing, so this deal makes sense for both sides. Young is a solid defender and should be a solid addition for the Sixers going forward. The first domino of deadline day has fallen. |
