If he bought in to our system and philosophy, then I full agree with you. I guess I just don't know if he would be a good fit that way.

Truthfully, I really can't disagree.
Completely agreed, its like people around here hate high volume players even if they're really efficient.
Trae Young is making college basketball great again. He's must see television.
He has tremendously improved his NBA stock since going to OU and Ayton is mocked as the top pick in the draft
So no.....looks like they made pretty good decisions actually.
So you're saying that none of that could have happened if they went to KU? They'd also be winning a lot more.
This is going to be a really entertaining thread when Trae Young dumptrucks Kansas tomorrow. Get some popcorn ready and be sure and stay tuned.
Young for sure...no he wouldn't have come on the stage as he has.
Ayton....well he's the top pick in a lot of mocks so......how did he make a mistake? All comes down to the tourney....Kansas and Zona will both be there.
And...."winning a lot more?"
Kansas is 16-3
OU is 14-4
Zona is 16-4
A lot more?
Kansas is 16-3
OU is 14-4
Zona is 16-4
A lot more?
KU is 16-3 without them. Put them on KU and they're easily undefeated right now. KU will also finish with a much better record. Stop being an annoying troll.
I’ve seen you use the 11-20 last year argument over and over. They were a young team learning to play with the graduation of held, cousins, Spangler, etc.
Takes time for those younglings to improve. Oklahoma had talent last year and they have talent this year.
Young simply needs to pass more, and I’m not talking about simply trying to get an assist. Maybe move the ball side to side and look for an easy entry. He has so many turnovers because he is trying to do it all on his own. His turnover rate has grown to over 8/game in conference play. The schtick is up, pass the ball

Just so Im understanding you right, you think the guy averaging 9 assists per game in conference play doesnt pass enough? Lol wat?
His turnovers have nothing to do with passing the ball. He quite obviously passes the ball a ton considering he averages 10 assists per game on a team that struggled mightily to score last season.
Steph Curry averaged less than 4 assists per game for his career at Davidson.
I was simply responding to the premise that they somehow made a bad decision yet both have improved their NBA draft stock.
I know it burns you guys when players don't select Duke, UK, or Kansas.
@Jayhox
Here is the head to head stats tonight
Trae Young 7/9 26 points 9 assists
Devonte Graham. 4/19 11 points 9 assists
Graham is too selfish. You just cant win games when a guard is as selfish as him jacking up 19 shots and only hitting 4. He needs to be more a facilitator like Young, who leads the nation in assists. I wonder if his teammates are going to pull him aside tonight and tell him its not AAU anymore.
Trae Young 7/9 78%
9 assists 5 turnovers
Everyone else on Oklahoma. 21/46
5 assists 11 turnovers
Trae elevated a really poor supporting xast to a win over a loaded Kansas team. Kansas was better at 4 positions out of 5, but Oklahoma had Trae Young and Kansas had Devonte Graham. That, essentially, was the difference in the game.

I was wondering if you two would pick this back up at a later date. Glad I kept tabs on it!
Agreed on all points except calling KU "loaded". They're an above average team imo that relies on jump shooting who a truly "loaded" team like Purdue, Duke or Nova would handle quite easily.
Trae Young just sealed his NPOY bid last night. Poor Bagley
We enjoy team basketball. We don’t hate the guy. I dont enjoy watching one guy go at It alone. All game. The way Young played against Kansas was beautiful. He made everyone around him better. He was over the top efficient and guess what? His team won. He instilled his will scoring wise when his team needed it or if it was available. I didn’t see one forced shot that I can recall. He plays like he did against KU, his team will set those screens better, rebound harder, get after it on defense more, .....winning stuff.
That Young dude just silenced this entire thread.
