Better one and done: Aaron Gordon or Stanley Johnson?
AG or SJ?
These past two years for Arizona Basketball have been pretty enjoyable. Back-to-back Pac-12 Championships, Elite 8 appearances, and two of the most talented rosters in all of college basketball. Both lineups featured prized freshmen with Aaron Gordon in 2013-2014 and Stanley Johnson in 2014-2015. Both spent one year at Arizona, eventually declaring for the NBA Draft. So now, we try and decide who the better one-and-done freshman was for Arizona.
Before we get started, a lot of people are going to say they both should have stayed, but that's just not the nature of college basketball now. General Managers prize these 18-year-old kids with such raw talent.
