Midway through the college basketball season, Oklahoma freshman Trae Young has established himself as a front-runner for national player of the year honors. The 19-year-old is averaging an incredible 29.4 points and 10.6 assists in just 32 minutes per game, leading Oklahoma to a 12-1 record and top-10 ranking, becoming must-watch basketball every time the Sooners are on TV.
Young has been getting better and better throughout the season, brushing off arguably his worst game of the year in a loss to Arkansas at the PK80 and playing at an unbelievably high level since. He has helped Oklahoma notch road wins at USC, Wichita State and TCU, with a neutral-court win over Oregon for good measure.
