Trae Young grateful for the advice Stacey King has given him: ‘He's a legend'

Thursday was all about Trae Young, as the Oklahoma point guard completed his private workout with the Bulls at the Advocate Center.

And during his 11-minute interview with media following that workout, he showered some praise on a fellow Oklahoma hoops star and one of our dear colleagues.

When asked if Bulls color commentator Stacey King had given Young any advice on the draft process, the sharpshooter responded with this:

"I’ve talked to Mr. King. He’s a legend in Oklahoma. We never really talked necessarily about the Bulls but he gave me a lot of advice throughout the season," Young said. "He’s a legend, so anytime I’m able to speak to someone like him I listen and evaluate his opinion. It was great."

Young and King have a connection, of course, as two of the best Sooners to ever lace it up in Norman, Okla.

King was sensational as a senior, averaging 26.0 points and 10.1 rebounds per game and was named the Big 8 Player of the Year.

Many of his single-season scoring records stood until Young came around this past season.

Real recognize real. Good looks, Trae Young.
