Would you take 4 years of Payton Pritchard over 1 year of Trae Young.
I think a lot of our answers are going to be different than they were if you would have asked this question a month ago.
No because 1 wanted to be here and 1 didn't.

You take 4 years of Payton Pritchard all day every day...
The only exception to that is if the one year leads to a national championship...
I still don't think it's 100% that Trae leaves after this year. He has a long ways to go to be able to play in the NBA. Especially on defense. He's obviously going to play in the NBA vs. TMG but I'll say the same things about these two. They can't guard anybody in college. Do you think they are going to guard NBA point guards?
To answer your question, I'll still take Trae.
Can't and doesn't are not necessarily the same. He obviously doesn't play good defense consistently in college, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the skills to do it when he makes it a priority and when he is less worried about fouling and conserving energy in the NBA. Also, very few people enter the NBA finished products. Same as any profession. You go through growing pains and improve along the way. Some guys enter the league as poor defenders, some have bad shots, etc.
Wish we could have had both. But in general, 4 years of a high quality player like Pritchard is going to better than any one and done.
I don’t reslly get the question. It wasn’t a choice. Pritchard didn’t want to come to OU.
Again trae wanted to be here. Pritchard did not. I will take the guy that wants to be here every time.
