Dime: What are your favorite kicks to wear when you’re chilling?
NY: Man, probably the Space Jams. Probably the 3’s.

Dime: What music are you listening to these days before games?
NY: Ah man, I like a lot of Cali music. I’ve been listening to a little Nipsey Hussle here and there. I like Wiz Khalifa, of course. Who else? I like J. Cole too. And I might throw in Tyga.

Dime: What’s been up with the Pac-12 recently?
NY: It’s terrible this year. I was up there during the lockout, worked out at SC a lot (with a) couple players and stuff. I’mma say we young. We got a chance to grow. We gonna be all right next year. But this year, I say UCLA, everybody, is not doing so good, so I’m kinda glad about that.

Dime: How does the Washington D.C. party scene compare to USC?
NY: Ain’t nothing like USC, man. We still got that. We still No. 1, I think, at that. When you go to SC you don’t want to leave. That’s why Matt Leinart came back. Yeah, I miss it a little bit.

Dime: Who is the best dressed Wizard?
NY: Oh, of course I’m going to have to put myself up there. Of course. I’m going to have to say I’m No. 1 and then, it’s a toss up. It’s three-way tie after me. I might throw Mo (Maurice Evans) in there – on a good day. ‘Dre (Andray Blatche) on a good day, or Jordan (Crawford). For the worst dressed, probably have to be… Chris (Singleton) or Jan Vesely (laughs). Where he at?

Dime: I was over in the C’s locker room and KG is always rocking the scarves. What do you think of that style?
NY: Ah man, it’s cool. I like KG. His style’s all right.

Dime: Some guys have criticized you, saying you only like to score the ball. What do you think about that, and how do you respond to that criticism?
NY: Hey man, there’s a lot of haters out there, for real. They tell me I’m dribbling too much, I need to learn how to come off screens, how to do that. I’ma just keep working hard. That’s the definition of Swaggy P.

Is Young part of the problem or solution in Washington?
