You might have heard that Trae Young attempted 39 shots in an overtime game that Oklahoma lost 83-81 at Oklahoma State.
Sure, Young scored an incredible 48 points. Yes, I really, really enjoyed watching Lon Kruger's freshman do what he does, particularly in the second half, when he erupted for 28 of his points.
But, seriously, 39 shots? Part of me hopes this continues because it makes for absolutely incredible spectating. Seeing any boundary broken or any custom rewritten is good TV, particularly in the occasionally hidebound culture of college basketball.
Besides, if Young is able to squeeze more points out of each of his innumerable possessions than his teammates, the smart play really is to give him all the run he can handle.
