Young was raised in Brooklyn, New York, where he attended Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. He learned to play basketball at the church where his mother, Edna, worked. Young tried out for the team every year he was in high school, but in all four years he was cut and did not make the final roster. He graduated high school in 1995.
