Arkansas guard B.J. Young is soaking up some tips from the pros this week at the LeBron James Skills Camp in Las Vegas. As he learns a a few drills, NBCSports.com discovered a few things about him and the Hogs' chances for dancing next season:

“I want to get everybody involved in the game, and then create for myself,” said Young to NBCSports.com. “I feel like I can create a shot at any time, so I want to use that ability to make the players around me better.

“We know each other more and we know each others’ tendencies,” said Young. “Also, we understand each other and we’re more conditioned to play the ’40 Minutes of Hell.’

“I feel like we hit the wall but next year we’re going to understand how to play the system a lot more.”

While Young has been practicing his game at the camp, he's also had the opportunity to rub elbows with people like LeBron James, pictured above, and Russell Westbrook. Young ended the 2011-12 season with 25.2 points per game, 50 percent total in field goals made and 41 percent in three pointers.
