Right choice for Trae Young: Picking OU a year ago

Trae Young didn't have an easy choice. Multiple good options. No right or wrong decision. Just make a decision and make it the right one.

But now the decision has been made, and the verdict is in. We safely can say that Young indeed made the right choice. He picked OU. A year ago.

Young's decision Tuesday to declare for the NBA Draft was a no-brainer. That decision was made for Young, not by his advisers but by the legions of basketball prospects over the last decade or two. An NBA franchise likes its players early. Likes its players to get into the professional ranks and work full-time on their games and their bodies.
