Who was the better Oklahoma Sooner: Trae Young or Buddy Hield?

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answers your questions about the league in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights.

Question: Who was better: Trae Young or Buddy Hield?

Carlton: Interesting question. Trae Young did the unprecedented double of leading the nation in scoring and assists and was a probably a more versatile player than Hield. But Hield stayed for four years, won several player of the year honors and led Oklahoma to the Final Four. On the basis of all those factors, Hield had a better final season than Young but it is close.
