"Nick Young knows better than anyone the knock on him — that he's a one-dimensional player who does nothing but shoot. The Washington Wizards guard, who will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, says he's ready to change that perception.

"Its like every year they say I can't do this, I can't do that, can't defend," Young said.

Wizards coach Flip Saunders gave Young that chance Wednesday night. Saunders employed a three-guard set in the fourth quarter of Washington's 105-102 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder and put Young on two-time NBA scoring champion, Kevin Durant."
