His appearances at the Drew League this summer fell just short of taking home the title. But Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young turned heads in another way -- and no, it wasn't his buzzer-beating heroics that had people paying attention.

Early Friday morning, Young explained his decision to a fan on Twitter, saying that his right arm was "mad" at the limitations that had been placed on it by the "strictly for buckets" edict:

When you're a scorer, you never want to make your buckets-arm mad. It's just bad business sense. And speaking of sense, Young also doled out some advice on picking a major in college:

The right arm its not limited no more .. It was mad I put limitations on it.. https://t.co/aRt80J34Y0
