Oklahoma Sooners freshman Trae Young tied the NCAA Division I record with 22 assists Tuesday night and became the first player in two decades to register at least 20 points and 20 assists in the same game.
Young's 22 assists tied a single-game record, shared by Syracuse's Sherman Douglas (1989), Southern's Avery Johnson (1988) and Charleston Southern's Tony Fairley (1987).
At 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, Young is the Division I leader in points (28.5 PPG) and assists (10.2 APG).
Young has four games with at least 20 points and 10 assists this season, as many as anyone had in D-I last season. He also scored or assisted on 72 percent of Oklahoma's offense against Northwestern State, and he was responsible for more points than the Demons scored (68) as a team.

Good point, Broadway, on ORL failing to develop guys. Add KOQ to that list.... Herz should join our euro-centric roster where he can blossom.
Orlando is truly disgusting here on some never will we see this again levels. In the past 7yrs they've had these players on their team when they were young/younger.

I'd argue the collection of players above are better than the current roster
But instead put all their eggs in the Fournier basket. Not that he's a bad player but when you have 2 prospects in Hezonja and Isaac who are languishing to nonexistence and you've simultaneously started benched/started benched Payton and Vucevic and only recently started featuring Aaron Gordon after he got Dunk publicity you know this franchise is all kinds of wrongs and wronger. Another major reason their former GM should've been fired and judging by what I'm witnessing at present the current one should be sweating bullets too, 1st yr on the job.
This is a modern day American tragedy. No one knows who their best player is. I'd gladly take Hezonja if they're trying to feature him, shouldn't take much to get a deal done.
